My absolutely favorite bookstore!! I usually purchase my books through their easy to use website. they have a HUGE selection and everything always ships super fast right to my door. Ive done their pick-up option and its quick and the staff is always friendly. Ive called with questions and the owner and staff are always informative and kind. I would recommend this bookstore not just to locals but anyone in the US with their quick shipping, huge selection, and friendly customer service

Wonderful, local, black owned bookstore. I had a big order for Christmas gifts, I was able to get everything through their website. Curbside pickup of my order was fast and efficient, and easy to schedule. One of the books had been damaged in shipping to their store, they caught it and made sure to get a new one for me. I will definitely be buying from here again!

There’s nothing I love more than a small little book nook of a bookstore. The Tiny Bookstore is a diamond in the rough of the Pittsburgh suburbs. The owners Bill and Lea are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. If they don’t have it, they can or know where to get it. I asked Lea for some suggestions for book ideas for my 8 year old, and not only did she come up with a few series titles, my very picky son loved them! More importantly, the reading level was spot on! The store itself is super cute and cozy (duh it’s a tiny bookstore!). I’ll keep coming here again and again and again! I actually live in the city and rarely travel outside the city limits, but I make it a point to tell people about them. Independent bookstores are just as important, if not more, as a big box chain. They also have a great online service, which has been awesome during Covid when libraries are closed and/or are not doing curbside service. I can’t speak highly enough! You NEED to visit and/or get to know the Tiny Bookstore!!

The best thing about this store is getting to support a small business! But only by a margin, because this is such a great shop. The appearance is charming, and I only buy here from now on. I moved from Pittsburgh a few years back, but their online service is fantastic. If I could add an extra star, I would!

I purchased from The Tiny Bookstore for the first time this weekend and I couldnt be happier with my experience. Shipping was incredibly fast (they could challenge amazon with their speed) and curbside pickup was very convenient. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, and they really go above and beyond! They will be my go-to bookstore.

Their website was fairly easy to navigate. I bought two books online and they arrived on time and in great condition! Im definitely buying the rest of the series through The Tiny Bookstore. Despite what their name suggests, their selection is certainly not tiny. I cant wait for the pandemic to be over so I can visit the store in person!

I LOVE the Tiny Bookstore and it’s owners. Unfortunately, I was unaware if it’s existence until Covid. The owners are tremendously helpful and courteous. All of my orders have arrived in a timely fashion and I could schedule a curbside pickup time right away. Lea is super intelligent and thoughtful. Her engagement with the community is a blessing. This bookstore is truly an asset to the community and I will gladly purchase all my books from them.

Is it possible that books are just better when you purchase them from a small and charming seller? I think so! The Tiny Bookstore offers a thoughtfully curated selection in a wide verity or categories. Browsing the store is an entertaining pastime, but ordering online with curbside pickup or delivery is extremely convenient. I love books and I love The Tiny Bookstore.

My mother-in-law gave me a gift certificate which came in form of a book! How cool! I ordered my books from them online. They had a great selection on their website and I was able to find a wishlist book I had been looking for for a while (Octavia E. Butlers Parable Of The Talents). The books shipped fast with a nice note from the owner. Great experience and cant wait to stop by in person one day!

Awesome selections and service. Lea has been so kind and helpful. I discovered The Tiny Book store last spring and have enjoyed buying my books here ever since. They can really get any book you are looking for. Thank you Lea for being a great business owner!

Nothing but great experiences here! A thoughtfully curated collection with the ease of online ordering and curbside pickup. Its almost like a treasure hunt to find it tucked away in the middle of the shopping center! Plus Ive attended one of their online events- it was extremely well done.

I’d been looking for a US-based independent bookstore so I could have books sent to friends there and this bookstore was recommended by some friends. I completely see why! Super friendly, super knowledgable, great services, and an excellent selection of books to boot. Will definitely be supporting them again in the future.Highly recommend.

I have been buying books from this store for the past year and have never been disappointed. I have had to ask for recommendations based on my childrens interests and Lea has always delivered stellar lists. I look forward to visiting the store in person and attending a book reading. I will continue to recommend The Tiny Bookstore to all of my friends and family!

My husband and I have ordered books several times from here. They are a small business so turn around time may take a bit longer, but the customer service is stellar. They are quick to respond, courteous, and informative. I will definitely buy from here again and highly recommend this business.

This quaint local bookstore is a fantastic addition to the area. The personalized service, the comfortable space, and the well-selected variety are great for all readers and a really great local small business. Well worth going to the North Hills!

The Tiny Bookstore staff was incredibly communicative and helpful when I placed an order around the holidays. They kept me updated on the status of the order, and when they realized that shipping through USPS wouldnt get the books to me by Christmas, they dropped off my order themselves - on Christmas Eve! Such wonderful people who really care about their customers. Will definitely be going to them for books in the future!!

I live almost literally a stone’s throw away in Keown Heights and was delighted to find The Tiny Bookstore nearby. Great little book shop that reminds you of a time when not everything was bought with the click of a mouse or in a giant bookstore where you can’t find anyone for help. And the tea I got with my book was fantastic! Lea is wonderful!

Love this store. Ordered books from here for Christmas. Big selection for a tiny store lol. Super helpful and friendly folks helped me find what I needed and got it mailed to me with a nice note. Im never buying big box again! Highly recommend ordering from here (during the pandemic, eventually Ill buy in person).

I love supporting local businesses - and I will definitely be a repeat customer of The Tiny Bookstore! I purchased books for my niece and nephews as Christmas gifts, and am looking forward to purchasing more books for family (and myself) in the future. I loved how personal the delivery was, too! A little note, as well as a postcard and temporary tattoos were included :-)

This minuscule space belies the advice, learning, opinion, entertainment, joy, and suspense you will find inside. While I believe that independent bookstores are the best, in general, The Tiny Bookstore is worth a trip to the suburbs (which is my highest praise). Help them grow so they can carry even more titles, authors, subjects, and instruction.

We ran a childrens book fundraiser and The Tiny Bookstore was more than accommodating! They helped us find titles, contributed to the book drive, and went BEYOND with recommendations. Highly professional, friendly, and community minded. I love it!

Tiny Bookstore is great and Leah knows every book in stock. She is fun to chat with about books. And if you don’t know what you’re looking for, she will help you find the exact right book.

I love The Tiny Bookstore, first thing you see is the yellow walls. The color invites you in with a warmth I never got in a library growing up, I had to drag myself to go to a library but not here, I learned reading is fun again. Lots of different categories too like sci fi and dramas. They even host autograph signings by NFL players!! Lea and Bill are the owners, very friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend you visit ASAP...thank me later.

I now get all of my new books at The Tiny Bookstore! Love the ease of online ordering and curbside pickup. When I had multiple orders leading up to Christmas they worked with me to hold everything for a single pickup. I try not to buy new books anywhere else!

I cant say enough great things about the service I received when ordering online. Because of covid and Christmas the post office had a snafu and my order was delayed. TTB stayed on it until it was resolved and included an extra book no charge in my order (!!❤️!!) as a lagnaippe. I will buy there again.
