The Harrisburg Midtown Scholar Bookstore is worth the drive. There are 3 floors, deeper and wider than you see here, of new, old, used and rare books. If I didn’t have the kids with me I would’ve gladly spent hours wandering the isles discovering books for now and future reads. I was very pleased with the prices as well.
This is my favourite bookstore. It's got a coffee shop, it's got a little eatery, it's got so many nooks and crannies to hide yourself in to read, as well as a bunch of seating for the same purpose, it's got musical events and book signings, and it has a variety of books both old and new for all interests and all price ranges. The staff are awesome and really helpful and for being so big it's a very cosy place to spend time, whether for an hour or two after work or an entire afternoon on the weekends. I cannot recommend Midtown Scholar enough.
Very pleasant surprise how huge this place is. Wandered 2 levels underground and the books just keep coming! Had a lot of fun exploring.
Came to see the inside of this old store formally the "Boston Store." The original building was a carpet and drapery store. Renovations have kept the store to original looks . Currently a bookstore with over 200,000 in inventory. WOW

I love this bookstore! Not only did I meet my favorite person, author, Jenny Lawson but this amazing store is magical and fun. It has four floors which I didn't get a chance to explore so I will be returning to do so. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by an awesome employee who helped me navigate my journey. They also have an adjacent store with old books and maps. So much history and I can't wait to return. Please stop in and experience some magic.

As an avid reader who prefers physical books, this store was amazing!! It was huge with a section below of rare and very old books. Would love a store like this in our area. They sell new and used books for great prices! Fantastic coffee shop inside as well.

Wow, there is not enough good things to say about this amazing bookstore. It has the vibes and looks of a traditional bookstore. They have an entire outdoor section of books lining the exterior of the building. You can buy a bag inside and fill it for only $15. The inside has a cafe immediately on the right side and the coffee was fantastic. The books are separated by category and author. They have new releases, signed editions, first editions and used books. I found a 1965 Kurt Vonnegut novel for only $1.95. A great spot to find steals for reading. Overall, I bought 13 books, including 6 hardbacks for only $118. Every hardback I bought was originally $28. An opportunity for plenty of bargain shopping for great books.
I love the selection and the atmosphere. Definitely a favorite bookstore from now on. Give yourself a few extra minutes and grab a snack or a drink while you're inside. I grabbed a a bargain on a couple used books outside! Love this place

Was on trip stopped in here quickly. I think if your big reader or collector of books this store is definitely for you. There a lot of area to cover in the place and they use up every inch they have for product which makes it kind of hard to look at stuff. Was also little hard to get your directions to what you were looking for. Plus wasn't much staff around if you needed any kind of help. That being say it is a unique place to check out. And the history behind the place was fun and enjoyable. And it looks like they have some amazing author events and appearances. If i was local and had more time to explore. I think it would have a higher rating. If your local and traveling in the area check out this place. If your a big reader or book collector this is the place for you. I would probably suggest to go early for parking and have more room to browse.

I passed by this place during my long walk in search of street murals in Harrisburg. I entered the store with the intention only to warm myself up on this cold winter day; however, I was immediately intrigued once inside. The main space has a 2-story tall ceiling featuring an old oxidized copper/brass bell. The entire upper walls on the right side was a huge mural of people engaging in all kinds of leisure activities. There were staircases in the back leading to the loft, and on the sides leading to the second floor. The structure, the ambiance, and the smell of books were so inviting, begging me to stay longer and explore more. Yeah, the setting is so very "scholarly" that it really reminded me of a library I used to spend time studying while in college. There's a café right at the entrance which doubled up as book checkout registers. There are used books in the second floor gallery. And there's a separate room through a door on the left for children's books. It's very rare these days to find an independent bookstore, let alone a cool one like this one. I strongly recommend a visit if you're in the area. Together with the Broad Street Markets just across the street, it'll definitely be worth your trip.
