Apport Used Books opened in July 2021 with the hope of bringing the vintage-book-collecting spirit to the Lehigh Valley. “I’ve based the feel of the store around what I as a reader and collector most enjoy in used bookshops: the sense of coincidence of luckily stumbling onto some hidden gem,” says owner Ben Roylance. Apport Used Books features a wide range of specializations to choose from, including sci-fi/fantasy, horror, poetry, plants and nature, literature, psychology and espionage. Shop retro paperback copies of classic titles and unique antiquarian finds that are sure to pique your interest. “I hope people find something new to them that opens the door to a new (ideally, positive) obsession or interest,” says Roylance. “I hope you find a book that inspires you to write one.”
