This tiny little bookstore is lovely, and nestled within the Pendle Hill retreat center of the Religious Society of Friends, better known as Quakers. For that reason the books sold focus primarily on the Quakers, Quakerism, and other topics that would be of interest to Quakers and other spiritual seekers. It is not a place to go and pick up the newest best-selling mystery or romance novel. If you are looking for a bookstore focusing on Quaker publications there probably isn’t a better one in the country. Even if you’re not looking for Quaker publications, but are looking for texts on spiritual matters this bookstore would be an excellent resource for you.

The Pendle Hill Bookstore is kind of hard to find, but once you get there, you’ll discover a terrific little independent bookstore with lots of books that you won’t find anywhere else. They’re especially strong in children’s picture books and in books relating to Quakerism(the store is part of Pendle Hill, a Quaker retreat and study center). The books are arranged in thoughtful categories– peace and social justice, writing, lives in transition, etc. The proprietor is friendly and full of suggestions. Definitely a good place to find a holiday gift for book-lovers.
