Hockessin BookShelf

Nice selection of books for a small store, combined with their wonderful discount, had my daughter and I leaving with a stack of books. 😀📚 They also have very charming and unique note/greeting cards. I'm so glad that we finally got to shop here and look forward to going there again.

Fantastic bookstore with a huge selection of used books. Jen, the owner is super nice, I really enjoyed chatting with her. They do regular author events and book clubs as well, and they've got a nice selection of gifts like socks, chocolate, greeting cards, etc. A real gem in the Hockessin community!

Very cute bookstore! We weren't looking for anything in particular, but it was impossible to leave empty handed. I'll be keeping this place in mind next time I'm looking for a new book!

We had the best time tonight at the book signing event for Caroline Woods. What a fantastic book store and amazingly friendly staff. We will be back!

My favorite bookstore! The store is small but the selection is awesome. I always find at least 2 books to bring home. The employees are also very friendly and knowledgeable. They can order whatever book you are looking for. Don't forget to take advantage of the ability to earn store credit by bringing in all those current books you have already read.

Picked up two books here during a quick stop. Small and charming, looks like they make an effort to promote and support local authors as well! Fair prices and cashier was nice.

Great little bookshop for new and used books. Bring books from home and earn credit for trading used books. Both my 7 year old daughter and I found wonderful books to read. Good selection of fiction, non-fiction, reference - all ages.

Went in during Shop Local "Saturday" to shop local this weekend. Why have I not been in here before? This adorable little bookshop has tons of great bargains but the best part is the owner. Rebecca was super helpful and knowledgeable with book selections for my teen and tween and gave us several new series ideas. Books were all in great shape, store was very clean and well maintained. Prices are reasonable and there were even free advance publishers copies at the door! The other patrons were friendly as well. We walked out with a huge stack of new reading material and looking forward to settling into a nice Sunday read. Next time we come we will start selling our used books in good condition to make more room on our shelves. What fun!

Great little indie bookshop! More used than new books, but front of store has a healthy selection of New and the friendly staff has earmarked some Staff Favorites. Smart choices and a cozy environment. This ain't no Mudd Club, this ain't no Barnes & Noble...but they also do special orders that arrive quickly and at a discount! Check them out.

This is my dream neighborhood bookstore come true! Great selection in a small space and I’ve never visited without leaving with a stack of new-to-me used books. I love that they serve the community with a sustainable business model that encourages readers to shop local, shop secondhand, and shop often (because selection is constantly refreshing and there are such great deals!) — there’s no reason to be buying books off Amazon or other big box stores with this place around, they do it all with a smile too!

The staff was helpful and friendly made sure we knew how everything was priced and where to find it. She also let me know that things can be special ordered if needed and was really great about helping me find a specific title.

Used books are BOGO second Saturday of the month!

Cutest little bookstore. Small but has a great selection of new and used books and reasonably priced.

Terrific local small business. The new owners are doing a great job keeping this bookstore in the community! I always call ahead for a specific title (they will order if its out-of-stock).

This is a great locally-owned used bookshop with extremely helpful staff with a great selection! The deals are excellent (bring in books to for credit towards your purchase) and they'll even notify you if a book comes in that you're looking to read which they don't currently have.

Great prices on used books

Didn't have what I was looking for, but were very helpful.

We emailed to make an appointment to look around and the owner was being very good about covid precautions but we still felt welcomed and comfortable. Nice selection of new and used books with friendly and knowledgeable guidance. We will definitely go back!

Small but mighty new and used local bookstore. They can order just about anything you’d want for roughly the same cost as that big online store. A good spot to find books by Delaware area authors and thoughtful gifts for readers.

Wonderful collection of a large variety of books. Helpful and friendly staff.
