The Title Page

This is an amazing bookstore because Beverly knows all the books. And they have great prices! She has been in business for decades and shows no sign of letting up.

I LOVE this place. Sure the prices are great and all but the owners are what really make shopping here a great experience. They are always friendly and helpful. I come with my kids a lot (which stressed me out… always touchin sh*t…) but they always chat up the kids and are accommodating. I always hold onto any new books I buy just in case I can get them here and support these guys.

What a great shop and asset to the Main Line. A great selection and the owner is very welcoming.

Located in front of an abandoned Boarders (there’s a lesson somewhere), The Title Page is one of the best used bookstores around Philadelphia. Owner Beverly Potter survived a water main break which flooded her store last summer and has the place up and running at full capacity. Although she lost a lot of her stock, the majority survives.
The store is packed with first editions, quality fiction, and paperback genres. I didn’t get a chance to explore all of it when I visited, but it’s one of the best organized bookstores I have ever encountered. This is the place where I found all three Quatermass Penguin editions. You could do a lot worse than spending an afternoon browsing through the selections.

If the independent bookstore is an endangered species these days, one that advertises «books, used, rare and interesting» and has been open for 40 years is rather like a mythical beast. The Title Page, in Rosemont PA, is open every day but Sunday and also has its finest offerings for sale on line at Biblio (
). The Title Page offers everything from fine first editions, incunabula, fine bindings and art books, to Philadelphiana, Ships and the Sea, a wide selection of reference volumes, biography and an enormous selection of inexpensive out of print and popular volumes.
In August of 2012, the shop was flooded by a massive water main break and nearly 30% of the stock was destroyed. The indomitable owner of the shop, Mrs. H. P. Potter (known as Beverley to her many devotees), has completely refurbished the shop and has quietly reopened in time for the 2012 holiday season.
The reopened Title Page delights customers with unique books at reasonable prices, and its most treasured asset, the very knowledgeable Mrs. Potter, is on hand Monday through Saturday to locate books for you, and dispense reading suggestions and general wisdom to bibliophiles, readers and Christmas shoppers alike. If you love books and love talking about books, you will find your Mecca in The Title Page.

Love this place! Very good prices and tons of books! There is a reason the border’s across the street has yet to put this place out business. No matter your taste, you’ll find something here. The woman there is very friendly and helpful as well.
