Greedy Reads — Local services in Baltimore

I love the Fells Point location. The atmosphere is inviting and charming. It feels like this bookshop completes the neighborhood.

I find if I go in the store, it's best to treat it like Ollivander's and let the book choose the reader. I have always received wonderful recommendations, and the reviews of staff picks are very helpful. Greedy Reads does a great job of promoting local authors and getting involved with the community.

Of course, the staff is always helpful and can order a book for you if they do not have it in stock, so you can still support local small business.

I shop here almost exclusively when I need a physical copy of a book. I have bought cook books, novels, and children’s books here. Most of them are gifts and they wrap them in brown paper for me. They will order books they don’t stock if you ask. I love this place. Support local...
