I have been in the bookstore twice (I live a few hours away) and have ordered from their online store several times. In store is an awesome atmosphere and the staff are so helpful. Online orders came quickly and packaged well. Love this place, worth the drive to support a small (and adorable) business!

Anthology for Books is a true treasure in downtown Geneseo. Beth has created a warm, welcoming space where curiosity is encouraged and book lovers of every stripe can feel at home. She’s thoughtful, kind, and genuinely invested in helping people discover books they’ll personally love, whether they come in with a detailed wish list or just a vague sense of wanting to read more. I always leave feeling happier than when I walked in... and usually with a book I didn’t know I needed!

Love this little local shop. They are wonderful to talk to about books, get book ideas for your TBR shelf, and order and buy books. Would definitely recommend. I haven't disliked any book I've purchased from them so far ...and that would be quite a few!
