Garland of Letters Bookstore

The store was very colorful and full of crystals and jewelry and books covering yoga and eastern religions. The staff was also very nice and helpful, but sadly they had only 6 total books on tarot study, despite having a very large (locked) cabinet full of dozens of different tarot card sets. I was generally looking for the basic tarot guides from Rachel Pollack and Mary Greer and was hoping to find other guides that inspired me. It just seems odd to sell that many card sets without the guides to complement them. Oh well! If crystals and yoga specifically are your thing, this is probably the right store for you 👍🏼

Not your typical bookstore… as in don’t go in expecting fiction, nonfiction and a children’s section. Lots of crystals lots of meditation and a good vibe.

The owner and staff were very helpful and welcoming when we visited on a Philly Bookstore walking tour. We discovered that Garland opened in 1972, and is one of the oldest New Age bookstores in the country. They also offer yoga classes, have lovely jewelry, statues, cards, and more. We had fun with the pick-your-own selection of gem stones display, and will be sharing them at a local youth nature center.

If you are interested in world religion, this is the good place to stop by to check it out yoga, Hinduism, and Buddhism with quite interesting objects and items for your bookshelf or window decoration.

I have always adored this place since I was a kid because of the incense and I told myself one day I will shop there and I finally did. I loved it here everyone was so friendly and if I needed help I could just ask. There were so many great products there.

This stoe has a good variety of books, incense, jewelry and other New Age things. The prices are reasonable and the people who work there are helpful.

Cool store with friendly staff. Prices are a little high but everything they sell seems high quality so it’s worth it.
