So happy I stumbled upon this hidden treasure.

Ive purchased a bunch of cool gifts here. You can spend hours here browsing old periodicals and magazines and books trying to find something cool. Dale was a pleasure to talk to, and his entire staff was very helpful. Its loosely organized and difficult to find specific things, yet you can spend a long time browsing which is enjoyable in itself.Ī hidden gem in the middle of Lansdale! Really fair prices, and so many neat books and antiques to look through. I find it hard to financially support racists.Īn interesting and eclectic store where you can find a little bit of everything.

Huge warehouse full of an amazing variety of books and papers, but after 10 minutes of listening to a couple of employees complain about black people and all their "problems", I walked out and dont think I can go back again. The people who run the store are very nice and friendly! Might be a good idea to bring a dust mask and vinyl gloves. Be careful though, as it is pretty dusty from the age of the books. If you spend a few hours here, you are bound to find something good. The find of a lifetime is somewhere in there, keep looking! Books dominate, but plenty of other collectables available here. A person could spend hours here, combing through the old comic books, post cards, & other printed matter. It is jam packed with historic ephemera, memorabilia, & other collectables. The one knock against them which would make it a 5 star place is that they could use a clean-up effort. If you need books of any type or genre, you WILL find it here. If you need paperbacks, they are dirt cheap. Thrift Shop MEETS Book Store MEETS Warehouse!! There are literally thousands of books here! The range of publication dates spans centuries, going back in the 1700s and older. Gave up and donated items to local thrift shop. After no response I called again and the lady on the phone was very rude and said dont worry we will respond to your email. Also I called about selling some items and was told to email them. Looking the same books up on Amazon and it does not pay unless you find something in the $1 room. The negatives is that most of the books I looked at were overpriced by a lot. The place is book heaven and the employees were very nice the first time I went.
