Bookish opened its doors for the first time on June 16, 2021 with limited hours but will be open 7 days a week starting with their grand opening August 20-22, 2021. Bookish is a haven for readers, writers, and anyone who considers themselves “bookish.”

Scott & Becky Minor first opened a pop-up bookstore called The Book Den in the Court at the King of Prussia Mall between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve 2019. Their new store, called Bookish, plans to stick around! Bookish carries a broader inventory of books and is now located right next to Dick’s inside the mall entrance near Bonefish Grill. In addition to carrying new books, many signed by the authors, Bookish specializes in exclusive editions not available in any other stores as well as uniquely bookish gifts such as wall art, pins, candles, and hand-made greeting cards.
