My absolutely favorite bookstore!! I usually purchase my books through their easy to use website. they have a HUGE selection and everything always ships super fast right to my door. I've done their "pick-up" option and it's quick and the staff is always friendly. I've called with questions and the owner and staff are always informative and kind. I would recommend this bookstore not just to locals but anyone in the US with their quick shipping, huge selection, and friendly customer service

I LOVE the Tiny Bookstore and it’s owners. Unfortunately, I was unaware if it’s existence until Covid. The owners are tremendously helpful and courteous. All of my orders have arrived in a timely fashion and I could schedule a curbside pickup time right away. Lea is super intelligent and thoughtful. Her engagement with the community is a blessing. This bookstore is truly an asset to the community and I will gladly purchase all my books from them.

Wonderful, local, black owned bookstore. I had a big order for Christmas gifts, I was able to get everything through their website. Curbside pickup of my order was fast and efficient, and easy to schedule. One of the books had been damaged in shipping to their store, they caught it and made sure to get a new one for me. I will definitely be buying from here again!

The Tiny Bookstore staff was incredibly communicative and helpful when I placed an order around the holidays. They kept me updated on the status of the order, and when they realized that shipping through USPS wouldn't get the books to me by Christmas, they dropped off my order themselves - on Christmas Eve! Such wonderful people who really care about their customers. Will definitely be going to them for books in the future!!

There’s nothing I love more than a small little book nook of a bookstore. The Tiny Bookstore is a diamond in the rough of the Pittsburgh suburbs. The owners Bill and Lea are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. If they don’t have it, they can or know where to get it. I asked Lea for some suggestions for book ideas for my 8 year old, and not only did she come up with a few series titles, my very picky son loved them! More importantly, the reading level was spot on! The store itself is super cute and cozy (duh it’s a tiny bookstore!). I’ll keep coming here again and again and again! I actually live in the city and rarely travel outside the city limits, but I make it a point to tell people about them. Independent bookstores are just as important, if not more, as a big box chain. They also have a great online service, which has been awesome during Covid when libraries are closed and/or are not doing curbside service. I can’t speak highly enough! You NEED to visit and/or get to know the Tiny Bookstore!!
