Erie Books Galore Is Largest Discount Bookstore Near Pittsburgh With Over 250,000 Books

Bookstores can just be so magical. We, book lovers, will likely agree that nothing compares to the sound of a turning page, the smell of an old book, and the feel of real paper pages. Sure, tablets and smartphones might make reading more convenient sometimes. But, nothing can beat an old-fashioned book and exploring a bookshop, like this bookstore near Pittsburgh that’s well worth the drive.

How far would you go to explore a classic bookstore jam-packed with 250,000 new and used books *and* 500,000 comic books?

Well, if you're up for a scenic drive to Erie, about two hours from downtown Pittsburgh, you're in for a real treat when you visit Books Galore.

A popular shop for book lovers, comic book fans, and gamers for more than three decades, the independently owned and run bookstore offers something for everyone.

Explore the bookstore's eight rooms, on two floors, brimming with new and used fiction and non-fiction books.

And, if your collection's growing a little too large, bring a paperback book or two to trade in at Books Galore. (However, keep in mind that every trade will be subject to a handling fee of $1.50.)

But, there's more. Sign up for a frequent reader card, and earn one stamp for every $10 you spend on used books. After you earn 10 stamps, you'll receive a $10 credit for the used books of your choice.

Of course, you'll also find a massive collection — half a million, to be exact — of comic books at Books Galore. Join the Comic & Gaming Club for discounts, too.

Books Galore also offers an impressive collection of games — from card games to dice games.

Set your imagination on fire at Books Galore, open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
