Second Street / AKA Records / Book Trader
27 N. 2nd Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106
Hey, that guy over there could be a nationally-known DJ sifting through vintage record store racks looking for great dance tunes. And at the used book stores? There’s nothing you won’t be able to find.
Books with history — for more than 30 years, bookseller Peter Hiller has dealt in never-been-read to gently worn pre-owned books, vending bestsellers and obscure tomes alike from one of the least organized, best-loved stores in the area.
Old City’s Book Trader specializes in no one genre, but among its thousands of volumes are hundreds of out-of-print classics, including amazing finds in the spirituality, art and photography, and gay and lesbian sections.
