Farley's Bookshop

An adorable and welcoming local and independent bookshop. It re-opened after four months of undergoing renovations on April 29, 2023. The staff is very friendly and is more than willing to help you out if you have questions. If you want to support the shop and will only be in town for a one-time visit or are only visiting every once in a while, I recommend calling the bookshop in advance and seeing if they have they have the book you are looking for in advance. If not, they can order it for you so it will be there when you visit. The bookshop does have a children's and young adult section. It also carries journals, stationary, stickers, and other gift items. It is an LGBTQIA2s+ friendly environment.

10,000/10. Literally the absolute best. I've been so excited about a new release, and they text me when they got it. Had it waiting at the register. Charlie is, as the kids say, BRAT. (That is a good thing my pupils tell me).

The staff here are very helpful--they were able to help us find a couple of books to give as a birthday gift and even wrapped them!

Love the fact that there are still independent bookstores such as this one. The big online retailers simply can't replace the intimate and friendly environment that this place provides.

Very friendly and accommodating staff, recommended good books for the kids

My favorite bookshop in the world. I drive from Scranton to New Hope regularly to shop there and every single Bukowski title I own, I've purchased at Farley's. (I won't buy my Buk anywhere else!)

Friendly and helpful staff and a fantastic and unique assortment of books, cards and gifts. A gem in New Hope and so nice to still have a store that sells books! The book I was looking for was not in stock so the staff ordered it and it arrived quickly. It was nice to receive a personal call rather than an e-mail or text that the book was in. Positive experiences from start to finish!

Great eclectic bookstore with a wonderful selection. It"s the kind of bookstore where you could browse for hours.

This is not the first time we have been in this gem! Great book store, ambience, selection, allowed my puppy to browse with us bc we had him in a stroller. Always a must stop when visiting New Hope with my son from Florida!!!

A recent visit to this establishment was both useful and a walk down memory lane. I used to buy books here a lot in high school and as an undergrad English major at university. Returning to the area after years of living out of state often includes a stop in at our favorite bakery down the street. This time I wanted to grab a couple of books for our kids too. Nothing has really changed. They still have their little frequent buyer program, which my Mom is still enrolled in. Keep up the good work guys!

Best in the world. We visit every single time we’re in New Hope. This is a really special place for readers. The staff recommendations are always keen and thoughtful. The collection of books is a treasure trove.

Farley's Bookshop is, hands down, my favorite bookshop.
Nestled in New Hope, Pennsylvania it is a destination in town that I will not leave New Hope without visiting.
The collection of books available there is interesting and something new and different always catches my eye.
It is pleasing to know that this is a place where small publishers can stand cover to cover with the "big guys".
The staff is knowledgeable and only too happy to track something down for you and order it if you can't find a precise item on their shelves.
I especially enjoy listening to the staff comment, intelligently, on the queries of customers.
Shop here or just browse- Farley's is worth the visit!

My favorite bookstore since 1982. Wonderful, eclectic selection ranging from best sellers to local authors. They will order anything and it arrives promptly! If you love books, don't miss Farley's bookstore.

Farley's is one of the cute little bookshops that are becoming harder and harder to find. It reminds me of the "The Shop Around the Corner" in the movie "You've Got Mail".

Here you'll find a very friendly staff along with a great selection of books that includes a nice secondhand section as well. If they don't have the title you're looking for, they're more than happy to order it in for you.

All said, it's exactly the store you'd hope and expect to find in New Hope. It's completely worth the visit.

Great place with a large selection of classic books. They manage to cram a lot in a small space which is ideal for a bookstore. In addition to books, they sell records for anyone collecting vinyl (myself included.) If you're in New Hope it's a must stop location!

New Hope's independent book seller is a true gem. You never know what you'll find here, including well-contented kitties resting amidst the volumes of cool books. What a great place!

This is probably my favorite place in all of New Hope. I love to read, and I was delighted to see some of my favorite author's books there. Huge variety, and the cat behind the counter was a great touch to the feel of the place.

Great selection and service ! Very welcoming

This a wonderful independent bookstore, with exceptionally knowledgeable and thoughtful staff (including at least one published author). Notably, I usually can get a book just as quickly through Farley's as through Amazon, without paying the postage. Farley's also has a very generous "frequent buyers" bonus. Responding to another post, the only alleged or arguable "rudeness" by Farley's staff that I know of (and I am there quite often) has been occasioned by shoppers using the shop to scan bar codes so they can order the books on line rather than supporting an independent store. Good riddance to those "customers."

Best little book store around.
