One star for the books. Minus 5 for how customers are treated. It must have been a slow night for the Uwchlan police force when they sent four officers to investigate a false accusation. Beware of the wacky clientele at Wellington Square Bookshop. You too may be accused of shoplifting. Someone reported a friend, visiting from out of town, who was with us. He had done nothing but look at books and bought a gift. I had my nose in a book when a female officer asked why I was not with my friend in the other room. "Hes an adult and does not need supervision," I replied. The officer asked if I noticed the police officers speaking with him. They were not visible as there were book shelves blocking the view. I immediately went to see what was going on as her demeanor as well as the other officers were as if he had committed the crime of the century. "You know why were here," claimed the lady officer. Completely stunned at the ensuing chaos, Im thinking..."Lets see, four officers...more than the total number of customers in the store...a police convention?" Needless to say, he was not guilty and was completely cooperative showing the police everything he had. Still the officers continued to accuse him. If someone reports what they think happened are you not innocent until proven guilty? There were no apologies. I am appalled at how our guest was treated and will not come back to this bookstore. Please take care of your crazy clients with false claims. As for the Uwchlan police officers, pick a place that serves good doughnuts so that you have something more important to do.

This place is fantastic. Dark wood shelves (with those fun ladders on wheels), nice leather chairs, good selection of books, fresh coffee and treats - if you are a fan of great bookstores, this is a must visit. The used book section is fun to go through and the staff do a great job of recommending new books.

I havent had much interaction with the sales people, but the layout and content of the store has brought me back in a number of times Ive been nearby. The signed editions, and first editions, are a great place to spend some time dreaming of filling my bookshelves at home with rare finds!

Named best bookstore in Pennsylvania by Real Simple magazine, this place lives up to the reputation. Wonderful staff - helpful without being overbearing. Interesting collection of books and it feels like youve stepped back in time and found a real gem in an English hamlet.

I feel as if I have my own bookshop. The sales people are knowledgeable and extremely well-read without being snotty about it. They just like books and a good reading experience. The shop is well laid out and also has stationery and childrens toys. What a delight!

This bookshop is a cozy space. Great areas to sit. Wonderful atmosphere. The staff are helpful and always welcoming without being overbearing. It has become my favorite bookstore after just a few visits.

Love this bookstore where readers are welcome to browse without pressure. Its great to be able to support a local bookstore instead of a giant online bookseller.

Small selection, not the cheapest prices, but regardless, its worth it. Wonderful atmosphere and unique gifts. Worth a stop!
