Pricing is fair and books remain my preference to i-pads or Kindles due to the touch and smell and the ability to stop and ponder the meaning of some complex thought and meander back to a previous paragraph without the modernity of a flat functional and bright device devoid of personality.
I went with my Pastor and my two boys, all of us interested in different subjects but all delighted by the unexpected treasures we found. The best time to visit in my opinion is in the Autumn when the log fire is lit and the smell of wood smoke permeates the ground floor, the light of the fire sending cheer and the armchairs which you can settle in and take in this magnificent place. Military History, the Classics, there is nothing like this place that I have found and I am well traveled. Books on every subject you can think of from Abstract Art to Zebras. You may view the web site - nothing is quite able to convey the sheer acre-age of books. I know of no place outside of libraries, with such a large number of books, carefully arranged, collated and indexed. This is a place to browse and if you have a particular want, identify it and complete that part of the visit. This is not a place to drop in for ten minutes. Can't wait to visit again when passing through. Baldwin's Book Barn does have a nice website and books can also be ordered online. Nice! Keep an eye out for the sweet cat(s) sleeping here and there. The staff I've met are helpful, but not in-your-face. I could spend days here! They have good hours so you can come and browse in the evenings. We found everything from Manga to cool local interest books. Some neat rare / old books too! I went a couple times on my own when visiting PA, then took my teenage daughters when we passed through the area together.
The vast majority are used and a real bargain. The place is crammed to the rafters with books on pretty much every subject under the sun. The building alone is reason enough to stop and walk through. This is a must see place for anyone interested in books! Just a few minutes outside of West Chester, in a converted 5 story stone barn from the early 1800's. Very fun when a store can inspire one to read and have an adventure too.
The manager was very great and knowledgeable( he knew Linus Pauling won the two Nobel prizes, one for Chemistry and one for Peace). Very thankful for the store, a gem and national treasure. I found a novel, nuke historian book, a Linus Pauling book, a old book with pictures of travels across the world from 1700s the book was maybe 1950, another history book about local scientists, a book on American Indians, and others. Even though there is a map, I still needed the managers help to get to the third floor:) then there were more books and a curious door (probably for hay way back when) very Harry Potter storyish. pouring through the book collection, walking on barn wood floors, up staircases that beckoned to a secret cache, mazes of bookshelves, all labeled and categorized. As far as ‘libraries’ go this has an immense diverse collection, I was there for over an hour. I was driving by (in the midst of errands, and working during ‘vacation’) and I was impelled to turn around and go back to the was a delicious adventure. To go in and feast my eyes on all the books. I have read newspaper articles about the store.all the while forlornly waiting for a spare minute from working myself half to death, or driving kids, or food shopping,etc. I can’t tell you how many times I have gone past this special book store.
