Mostly Books (mostly…)
November 3rd, 2007 · 2 Comments
Mostly Books is a not-so-tiny little shop on Bainbridge between 5th and 6th. It’s the kind of place that you can walk by a million times and never really notice it or think about stopping in. But I did once, and boy was I surprised! It’s incredibly unassuming on the outside but [...]

Comics in Philly
March 27th, 2007 · No Comments
There are two and a half comic retailers in Philadelphia. If you read comics in Philly you probably know about Atomic City on South Street and Fat Jack’s on Sansom and 20th. They are both killer shops that have all the weeklies and a nice selection of trades and back issues. But [...]
