I loved that place! 4/1/2017

My "kids" are now in their 50s, but I used to go there all the time for books for them....fiction, non-fiction....I bought so many Nancy Drew books for my daughter! To this day, I still remember it fondly. I still mourn the fact that it closed years ago. more

In loving memory of a wonderful store 5/15/2011

Good: It was a magical place. A small house on the outside with seemingly endless rooms of books. Shelves were lined up all along the walls, and in the hallways. From bottom to top, they had books on tables, on shelves in stacks. There was a complete children's literature room from board to teen in the basement. Every book you knew and so many you did not! The volunteers were always helpful and happy to help you find a book or suggest one themselves. they even had a bathroom that we were allowed to use. Bad: That it closed in 2005. Improvements: Thatt it would reopen somewhere else in Pittsburgh. Other: Please come back I miss all the conversations and the great books.. more

Quaint bookstore 8/20/2005

The overwhelming eight miles of narrow aisles is crowded with not-yet-shelved volumes and fellow booklovers to stumble over. The gruff (but well-informed) staff may make you think twice about coming back. However, if you call them give them all the bibliographic information on a title, they'll call you back within three hours if they have it in hardcover, and put it on hold for you for five days. more
