The Philadelphia Bookstore Crawl Returns, Year Two!

Harriett’s Bookshop in Fishtown

Well, this is a really lovely post to write.

Saying last year’s Philadelphia Bookstore Crawl was a success, feels like something of an understatement. With so many bookstores going all in to celebrate our city’s vibrant bookselling community, authors from all over throwing events across the region, and people visiting from as far as Maine and Texas to hit up as many shops as they could… it was an absolute joy.

Nevermind the fact that a few bookstores had to close early the next day, because they were out of books.

So yeah. We’re doing it again.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 24th, my friends.

We’re hoping to loop in even more bookstores (and comic bookshops!) this year, and offer up some more fun events.

Want to be involved? As a bookstore? A sponsor (please help us with giveaways, printing things, swag)? An author? Please reach out. You can contact us at phillybookstorecrawl@gmail.com. I’ve been actively emailing all the bookshops I can, but if I missed you, please say hi.

Here’s to you, Philly. The best town to be a book person in.
