Buckingham Books

Buckingham Books brings a quiet sophistication to Doylestown's thriving downtown, where its tall windows and inviting interior beckon passersby off State Street and into a world of carefully chosen books. The literary fiction section benefits from an owner whose taste is trusted implicitly by her regular customers, many of whom simply ask for whatever she is reading. The children's section, occupying a sun-drenched room at the back of the store, has become a destination for Bucks County families, with a depth of selection that rivals much larger stores. Art and architecture titles pay tribute to the county's creative heritage, including the Michener Art Museum just around the corner. The upstairs cafe offers a quiet retreat for readers and a gracious setting for the store's popular author events.
