Head House Books Reviews

Impressive first online shopping experience with HeadHouse. Loved that I got a personal thank you email and free shipping (with $35+ orders while they're closed). The best sellers were delivered to my door in 2 days. Their website search function and book highlight recommendations are easy to use. Looking forward to visiting in person when they reopen.

Great local bookstore. Good selection of books and they have greeting cards as well.

Great independent bookstore, good selection, knowledgeable staff, sweet little location. Good recommendations, selection, and children's books. One more great feature; one may also order books from their website. And if you email a question, a real employee well reply.

Great selection of books and knowledgeable/friendly staff. Each visit is a pleasure!

Small selection but it's poignant and clear that the staff know what they're selling. A decent children's section as well, which is awesome in this very community/neighborly space.

Great shop with loads of selections in many genres of literature. Many books up front have summaries/recommendations which are quite helpful.

They also have a large selection of children's books as well as a large area in the back for read alouds and general lazing about for kids.

Definitely cute little independent bookstore. They don't have a big selection but I'm sure they could order whatever you wanted if you were staying in town. There was a huge selection of children's books though. So if you have a child I highly recommend you bring them here. Overall very nice, tiny shop.

Rare, independent bookseller with great selection. A jewel of Headhouse Square.

Really good selection for such a small place. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Plus the shop has a cute layout and selection of books and if they don't have they will order it for you.

Found a limited but quality selection of books. Very friendly staff!

Big thanks to Head House Books - they were able to overnight a book for me that ended up being a truly great read during a holiday I had to Morocco. Super fast to respond to e-mails. Thanks again!

This place has all the newest/coolest books in stock and they ordered a book for me that wasn't already in the store. They also have a great selection of artsy/fun/unique cards for various occasions. Definitely worth popping in to peruse if you're in the area!

Great independent bookstore with helpful staff and great events.

Great food and atmosphere. Our server was very nice.

Pretty nice book store. Got some solid deals as well.

Wonderful neighborhood bookstore with a wide range of thoughtfully curated books.

Excellent display of books for adults and children, knowledgeable staff that makes helpful suggestions, gift wraps.

Who doesn't love books? They've a lot of great ones and everyone is very helpful.

Excellent indie bookstore. Great selection and they will order anything not in stock. Staff is great and know what they are doing. Order online and pick up in store is my mo.

Great to be able to browse in a local bookstore with friendly, helpful staff.

The selection is well curated, and the sales staff is helpful. There is an incredible selection of children's books as well, thoughtfully selected. A real gem of an independent bookstore. They are also more than willing to order whatever you need.

Great little bookstore with lots of interesting new releases and and a good selection overall. Prices are even comparable with big box book stores. Art books, occult, etc.

Cute shop with a big selection. I bought an authentic signed copy of a book from right off the shelf - at regular retail price! I didn't even see that it was signed until I got home. What a great surprise/treat! Thanks!

Friendly staff, good book selection, easy to preorder new releases instead of support amazon, the website from hell.

Found this little bookstore while roaming the Philadelphia streets. It has a good selection of books to choose from.

Called you up today, asked politely if you carry Salt Fat Acid Heat, immediately you hung up. Called back twice, you ghosted.

What...? Y all havin a bad day over there? Who hurt you?

I had an incredible first experience at Head House Books this week. Not only did I get to meet my favorite authors (Christy Harrison and Caroline Dooner), the shopkeeper made me feel especially welcome. As a person with a disability, I realize that well attended book events don't usually have space for me. Head House Books made space and were ever so gracious in doing so. Their front entrance has no steps and their raised area has a permanent ramp that works perfect for a mobility device. Their collection of books makes me want to come back again during business hours and explore the entire collection and neighboring businesses.

A thoughtfully curated collection of titles & small gift items displayed in a warm and intimate space. A wonderful example of what the neighborhood independent bookshop has to offer in an increasingly homogenized retail world. Highly recommended.

Small locally owned independent bookstore in the heart of Headhouse Square. While the space itself is small, it is well-organized and offers a wide selection of books in a variety of genres. I was very happy to see a Paddington Bear plushie sitting in an armchair right by the window, so naturally, I got a picture of him, and no one in the store made a fuss about it. So if you're not a slave to your e-reader or need to find a tangible copy of a book, give this shop a chance...you could leave pleasantly surprised!

How can anyone NOT love the hell out of Head House Books?? This place is the best. Five stars all the way. Check out the store events calendar, and become a Friends With Benefits member!

Cute shop with a nice selection of books to peruse! The cards are really fun too!

The best,. What an actual book store should be. I buy all my books from them. They can have delivered or you can pick up. Very helpful too.

Excellent selection of books and a lovely store, definitely worth a visit.

Great little neighborhood bookstore with a cozy environment and awesome selection! Keep small bookstores alive and visit here when you want something new to read!

Just visiting Philly and decided to check out this cute bookstore. It's small but they have a good selection and employee was sweet and informative.

The best book store in Philadelphia. They have a great selection and can order anything else. Excellent service and space.

What a great independent book store! Great area in the back with lots of kids books. We Head House Books.

Beautiful cozy space. Great for getting lost in your favorite book.

Great service. Very good children's and YA selection but I wonder if fiction couldn't be a bit deeper.
