Fox regulars are people who take books seriously and have the disposable income to pay almost full-price for all their hard- and paperback titles. Having a distaste for the big chains won't put you in the minority, but you'll have to be willing to wait a few days for items they don't have the space to keep in stock.

When I'm not trolling used bookstores for bargains I'm here. The big chains don't hold a candle to the knowledgeable, well-read staff. And, if they don't have what you're looking for they'll order it for you. They can get their hands on the most obscure titles!

I love this independent store. They have a great selection and are helpful and readily place specialty orders. The store is small, but still easy to hang out in and peruse for awhile.

This is a nice alternative bookstore to Barnes and Noble if you are near Rittenhouse Square. It is small, but packed with treasures. The staff is wonderful. My friends and I like to browse here during lunch. Covers all genres.
