3 Incredible Used Book and Record stores in 3 Iconic Pittsburgh Neighborhoods.
Downtown. Squirrel Hill. South Side.
Amazing Books & Records is Downtown Pittsburgh's only used bookstore and record store (since opening in April 2013), and Squirrel Hill's first used bookstore in over ten years (we opened there in June 2014).
Our newest store, Amazing Books & Records Emporium, is Pittsburgh's largest independent bookstore. It will soon feature a vegan cafe, Serendipity Cafe, and will also be the home of Steel Quill Writers Workshop, a place where writers of all skill levels can take classes taught by professional writers in every type of writing, and also greeting card and gift shop, Dandelion Cards.

We proudly purvey a well-curated selection of gently used books, rare and antiquarian books, and new books by local independent authors and poets, and a growing and exceptional selection of used records focused on rock, jazz, and blues.
We sell gift certificates as well, and our knowledgeable and friendly staff is always glad to help you find something good to read.
We buy quality used books and vinyl records all of the time! We pay cash for records and books, or can offer you even more in store credit towards other used books. We often buy large collections too. If you have an estate library to sell, or otherwise have a lot of books or records, please be in touch at info@amazingbookspgh.com
We sell many books online (from a separate inventory), here, and the inventory is searchable:
