This place is wonderful! The owners are so friendly and down to earth. If they don't have a book you are looking for they will gladly order it for you. They are so knowledgeable and their prices are great! I love this store!

This is a local book store with a huge inventory. The owners are extremely knowledgeable. They are always willing to go out of their way to make sure you find what you need. I absolutely love this place. There is just something about the feel and smell of a real bookstore!

Awesome selection for a smaller indie bookstore, and NOTHING beats the experience of petting cats while browsing for books. They carry both new and used.. I scored 2 newer reads that have been on my TBR list, along with a used greek mythology book, plus another random witchy novel. If you're in the area, make it a priority to stop in and check it out.Pro tip: because this place gets pretty busy and the space is smaller, try to go early when they open so you aren't shouldering past groups of people. It can get clausterphobic pretty quickly when the store fills up with people.

Great local bookstore with helpful staff and 2 handsome shop cats.I love cats and books so I always enjoy my time when I get to stop in here! They have both used and new, including the very latest released books. Very organized, by both genre and then alphabetical. The staff is very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and very open to giving suggestions based on your "likes". New books are cover price and used vary. I found 4 used that ran between 5 and 10 dollars, all in excellent condition. They have a kind of loyalty program in which you're given a card and it's punched for each $10 you spend, when the card is full you redeem it for $10 off your purchase. If you love cats like I do, make sure you bring a quarter, there's a cat treat machine and those cats sure know the sound of it!!

Small town Older used and new book store. Not a huge selection in a small town. Owner has 2 cats that seem to be an attraction at the store. It just kinda of made the place smell like cat and cat litter box. Associate was friendly.

Great place! The staff are all knowledgeable and happy to recommend anything (and it usually hits the spot). The store is well stocked and if they don't have a book they are happy to order it. Plus there's two friendly bookstore kitties! Definitely worth a stop or two if you are in town!

Sweet bookstore with mostly new books. Friendly staff that know the locals and literature and warm to out-of-towners, too. Lots of local reading material, too.

Very friendly owners and staff. I have found several old chemistry books here, and love taking my daughter to find fun books to read her. Cats are a huge bonus!

Strangely enough a book store being a calm place! This place has that and a little extra. The variety of books to choose from within this small store is phenomenal. If you don't find what you're looking for just ask and she will try and get it. The owner is a charming lady. The cats that call this home are a sweet pair. And the work they do in their spare time is greatly appreciated. We enjoy stopping by on Sundays.

Love going to this bookstore every year during Rally Race weekend. Everyone in the store are so sweet and helpful, excellent customer service. They have a website available that you can use to purchase their books online. I personally prefer calling them to order and I receive my books within 1-2 days. Fast shipping and the pricing is very reasonable. I have no complaints and highly recommend this store.

Looks can be deceiving or you can't judge a book by it's cover. We went in not sure what to expect. The co-owner Mrs. Kasey Cox was delightful and took me right over to the section of history books I was interested in. Their selection of books is absolutely amazing. All of the books are in good condition. They are new and gently used books.

Every time I come to My Shelf Books they always are kind and welcoming. I love their membership and the bookstore cats Huck and Finn. They do a lot to help the community all around by supporting local groups such as teen book club. They also have a wide array of books from local authors to best sellers. If you’re in the area it is definitely worth checking out!

Great little book shop, has a variety of sections and cool little gifts for people. If you have a cat allergy stay away. Two amazing cats "work" there.

Delightful shop full of a great assortment of new, used, and vintage books (and organized!) Found some treasures for our kiddos (ages 8 through 14) and could have easily spent much more time and money if we didn't have places to be as we were traveling through. Staff was extremely helpful in finding books they have in stock and willing to find and get in books they didn't have.

An amazing place. So helpful and friendly. They have some hard to find books. I don't think you will be leaving empty handed. Of course you have to say hello to Huckleberry and Finn! So adorable! We will be back on our next trip to Wellsboro. Thank you for all your help today!

Great selection of books! They've got so many. Most are in very good condition. And not too bad on the prices, either. They didn't have the book I was looking for, but they did search and search for it in the other room and it took quite a while, but very nicely, they gave me a 25% off coupon for patiently waiting! Very nice staff. Cute cats inside!

If they don't have it available in the store, they will find it for you. They supply great books for all ages. I've shopped here for years and am always satisfied!

Awesome book store. The people are super friendly and helpful. I went in looking for a nice relaxing vacation read and the owners helped me find a few books that fit into that category. They also have a cat that likes to play which is a must for all the great book stores.
