​3 Incredible Used Book and Record stores in 3 Iconic Pittsburgh Neighborhoods.

We are your Pittsburgh Bookstore in Downtown. Squirrel Hill. South Side.

Amazing Books & Records is Downtown Pittsburgh's only used bookstore since 2013, and  became Squirrel Hill's first bookstore to open in many years, in June 2014.

Our newest bookstore, Amazing Books & Records Emporium, is Pittsburgh's largest independent bookstore. It is a beautiful 4600 square foot space on the ever-exciting East Carson Street on the South Side. 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 is features a greeting card and gift shop, Dandelion Cards. We even have free parking in our own lot directly behind the store on Bingham Street.
