Brickbat Books 709 South 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147

"This is a bookstore for those who enjoy leisurely exploration and discovery. Most of the store features walls of unlabelled shelves of pre-owned nonfiction and literary books by author. There's some selection of vintage children's books, LP records and literary gifts. There's soft music playing and knowledgeable, friendly staff."

"Amazing place, always finding beautiful gems, either books, vinyls or cassettes. Really well curated."

"Brickbat book store is a nice little book store. It would be nice to see the books more organized, other than fiction or non-fiction. Brickbat books sell new and used books but there were no actual prices on the books until you're ready to check out."

"One of my favorite bookstores in Philadelphia. You'll find an extensive selection of art and photography books, obscure vintage publications and indie vinyl"

"Not really accessible but people are very kind and helpful. What an incredible, magical little shop! Precious finds at all price points. Children's books in front, more cerebral stuff in back. Great display of coffee table books and deep thinkers. It's really about the books here, not a lot of extra junk around. I spent more than an hour here and really enjoyed my purchases. Here's a beautiful thing that happened here: I found my favourite childhood book and bought it for $6. Then I asked a child with their parent if they would like to read it, or knew anybody who might like to read this book that they might pass it on to. The child declined the offer but on second thought they took the book and decided they could probably find somebody. The kid was shy to take it but opened it straight away and began reading. I thanked them for taking care of my favourite story and went on with my day. I hope the world is a little better with a book no longer on the shelf but back in children's hands."
