Welcome to Chestnut Street Books!
Chestnut Street Books is owned and operated by Loome Booksellers, independent local booksellers for over 25 years.
We carry good, classic, books in nearly all subject areas, including classic literature and children's books, poetry, art, Americana, history, and science.
Our buyers travel extensively throughout the U.S. and Canada, bringing back a wide array of scarce, out-of-print titles that simply cannot be found elsewhere- beautifully illustrated children's books, scarce U.S. government documents, and much, much, more.
We haven't got space to waste, so you can be assured that you won't find our shelves cluttered with last week's bestsellers, wizard hats, or cheap paperback romance novels.
Among the many categories of books one might find in our shop are:
-Art
-Architecture
-Photography
-Cooking, Food & Wine
-Gardening, Nature & Outdoors
-Children's
-Literature, Poetry & Drama
-Philosophy
-Psychology
-Native American Studies
-Oriental Studies
-Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies
-Military History
-European History
-Ancient History
-Greco-Roman & Classical Studies
If it's religious books you seek, treat yourself to a visit to our parent store,
Loome Theological Booksellers, located at 320 N. 4th St, where you can browse through over 100,000 hard-to-find and classic Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and related academic books.
