Hakim's Bookstore & Gift Shop

Good evening Google family. I patronized for the first time. I love this store. The oldest black owned book store in Philadelphia. Yvonne Blake is the owner and CEO. My friend, Yolanda Weaver, had a book signing here today, her children's book is Brown like Me. Her book signing was very successful. Her book is now available for purchase in the store. I met a lot of nice people and networked. I purchased a 2026 calendar. The value for the money is outstanding. My experience was great and I will come back to look around some more. Good night, workout, be healthy, fit and Fabulous.

It's one of the best bookstores i have ever been to. The staff are pillars full of knowledge and books. The selection is diverse, and they are including new literature as well. Shouts out to the entire kids section of books as well

Went in, haven't been here in some time. Glad I stopped in, purchased two books, had some great dialogue. The best Gem in West Philadelphia, and a Historic Landmark.

This store is a historical land mark! Let us support our sister Yvonne and go learn some actual history.

It was perfect! We found just what we wanted. My granddaughter got three books immediately upon arriving. I was able to purchase a book for my great nephew also! The prices are reasonably! We'll be back soon!

Great selection of children's book from black authors. I did get to really check out the other genres but seems to be a really good variety. Friendly and engaging staff. Good prices too. Definitely my new book spot.

What An Excellent Day To Support It Was Great To Come Out and Embrace The World Of Reading Reliving Great Authors
