Penguin Bookshop

I love supporting independent bookshops, particularly local ones. Whenever I want to send my Pittsburgh family a book, I turn to Penguin. Their communication is thorough and fast, and they always have the books I want. They're the best!

Such a magical bookstore in Sewickley. They had the latest releases and so much more. A great variety for their size and the best children’s section. I also received a surprise discount at the register on one of my purchases. I love that the book sellers can talk book talk and give reccos. You can tell they love the store.

Lovely bookshop with wonderful staff! Great selections, and they also do author readings and events. Definitely worth checking out!

This is our favorite local book store 💙💙 It's smaller, but we've ordered books through them to pick up in store and it's very hassle free.

My favorite part about this store is the employees, though. Every time we visit, they engage my kids by asking what books they've read, who their favorite authors are, etc.. and helping them find new favorites. They all also make thoughtful recommendations.

All in all, it feels good to support a small local business that in turn cares about its readers and its community 📚

This bookstore is awesome!!! I came in looking for a book about a clementine for my nephew and they owner found one :) She recommended some really great books in the horror genre. My friend and I spent a good about of money there so own gave us two free advance writer novels that have not came out yet. :):)
100% recommend!!!

Small, but mighty; the absolute best book store in PA. The Penguin Bookshop never disappoints, I always make a day out of my visits to Sewickley to include some time to browse. The staff are friendly and helpful in helping you find any book you are looking for, or can help you order it, or chat with you to give you recommendations on what to read next. You can tell that the staff are passionate. The shop is always up to date with new releases, books or authors that are going viral, and includes/promotes books from local authors!

Adorable bookshop with a cute kids area with large tree and twinkle lights. I was there for a book signing of Jessica Whipple's new children's book, Enough Is. It was a great experience!

I absolutely love Penguin Bookshop! I first visited it a few months before the pandemic started and just loved the atmosphere, book selections, and the friendly staff. Since then, I haven't been able to go back in person but I have ordered from their online shop many, many times. The staff works with me to get my books shipped in a timely manner and they are also quick to respond to email inquiries. It's really important to support local, indie bookstores now more than ever and I can confidently say Penguin is one of my favorites.

I only visit Pittsburgh a few times a year, but I always make the trip over to Penguin to treat myself to a good read. Located in the scenic heart of Sewickly, stepping inside Penguin Bookshop feels like being inside of a postcard. The folks here couldn’t be nicer and are so helpful if you’re shopping for yourself or someone else.

Attractive storefront, shelves are well organized. The stock is accessible and the children’s section adorable. However - I continue to return because of the thoughtful, engaging staff. The staff is exceptionally good at providing recommendations!

AA++ experience! I ordered a book online and had some confusion but I left a message and they called me as soon as possible and had made sure my book was making it to my new address.

If you want to support an independent bookstore and aren’t sure if you’ll get customer support I can assure you they’re on the ball! 100%.

Will definitely have my business in the future!

What a great place! I was looking for a hard to find book and when I called Penguin Bookshop, not only did Mary, the person on the phone, help me out with securing an order, she called twice to make sure it was going to be delivered on time to the store, and called to confirm it had arrived.

A great place to visit, and the staff is helpful and friendly.

Wonderful. My whole family lives this book store. Independent book stores are so important and we love to support Penguin. Staff is wonderful and helpful. Great atmosphere

One of my absolute favorite bookstores. The staff is always friendly and make intuitive suggestions. I like to take my time and browse for the perfect new book and they never rush me. They’re just such welcoming and lovely people.

Great little quaint bookshop. Great location in downtown and a fun selection of just about everything. I picked up a Penguin Clothbound edition of Anne Bronte. How fitting, right?
A small bookshop, but a friendly neighborhood bookshop all the same!

Ordered a couple of books for store delivery. Very pleasant store and interaction picking up the books was excellent. I was even able to have the books gift wrapped which was unexpected and greatly appreciated!

My sister purchased Everything Beautiful in its Time written by Jenna Bush
Hager for me. The book came with a tote bag and in a very timely
manner as promised. Highly recommend Penguin Bookshop!

A wonderful place! I have a very treasured book which I bought during a signing here. They have a great, intentional selection but they've also quickly ordered books for me if not in stock and are very helpful.

I've had very pleasant experiences at the Penguin Bookshop in PA's reopening phase. Sidewalk pickup is offered and touchless pickup inside. Hand sanitizer and gloves are available front and center and masks are required of patrons and employees, with plexiglass shielding around the desk/cashier's station.

The staff are friendly in answering my questions, efficient in special orders (including bearing with me on phone orders) and thorough in explaining current backorder status of some books. Every book I have gotten there is in perfect condition, unlike the typical condition from a certain online supplier. And it's nice to interract with an actual human being who knows the business.

Given the past few months, it couldn't be more clear that we need to Support Local Business!

Wonderful, delightful book store ! The customer service is great and it is such a pleasure to receive book recommendations for gift giving. Please support local shops they are truly a treasure!!
