Big Blue Marble Bookstore

I love this place. Large, varied collection of beautiful diverse books organized in an adorable, cozy space. I love the upstairs reading room too.

So cute! Really enjoyed the selection of books and fantastic space upstairs for study/reading. Even offered space to make your own tea at the kitchenette!

The place gives you more of a feel that you're meeting at a family friend's house then a regular bookstore. They have a great selection of books for all ages and genre interest. And they have an area where you can go and have tea and coffee while enjoying your book/magazine.

Cute clean bookstore. Friendly staff. Nice children's selection. Smaller adult selection. Cute and cozy reading area upstairs. Not wheelchair accessible

Fabulous selection of books, including huge kid section. Large LGBTQ selection, multiple books with characters of color, carefully curated by experienced staff. And if you can't make it to their store, order online by clicking on their website and going to the bookshop.org website, really easy and also supports the book store. I love this store.

Long live the independent bookstore! Small yet well-organized and packed with a wide selection of books in a multitude of genres. When I walked in I was greeted by a friendly employee who was quick to inform me of the section of the store where I could find my books of choice; however, I discovered upon my entry that there was a kids' storytime/song session going on, so I didn't want to get in their way. Though since Mt. Airy is such a great neighborhood for families with young children, it's great to have a local spot that features something for the whole family!

Love this local neighborhood bookstore. Nice broad selection especially including children's books. Helpful staff and they will order what they don't have in stock. I like the frequent buyer discount and I often walk out with a nice card or two in addition to books
