Coming Judgement

Oct 1, 2022

The first time I tried to come here, I drove past it twice. It sits close to the rear of the parking lot, so it's not right along the street. I'm glad I made it. This is the 2nd best used bookstore in central PA (Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg is #1). My opinion is subjective in that they have more of the genre of books I'm looking for, and more hardcovers/large format books that you would want for your library. There is a smattering of other things peppered throughout, like comic books, collectibles, and music. Everything is separated by genre and there are many seats around so you can sit and read before you buy. There are a lot of books, aisles and alcoves. It has the feel of a library, and I felt very comfortable. It is well worth the trip to drive here. In the past couple months I was disappointed in all the different bookstores I traveled to. But that doesn't mean you will be, because you may find what you're looking for, which will make your trip there worthwhile. But with everything considered: presentation, inventory, pricing, and ambiance, the York Emporium checks all the boxes for me. BTW, 3rd on my list is Cupboard Maker Books in Enola, which has a large selection of books and a few cats that are waiting to see you.

Unless things have changed the answer to this is No. There are sci-fi days, Irish music jams, haunted events, etc., but no gaming tournaments. That being said, Jim may host if you would volunteer to coordinate it.
