Book Culture (Pittsford)

With its cozy and tasteful aesthetic down to a tee, the curated charm of Book Culture is a magnet to many. Handcrafted keepsakes and trinkets line its shelves, and the countless seasonal displays invite you to linger. Behind the main store front is a kids cottage packed with treasures of child paraphernalia. Buying at Book Culture is buying quality items, and prices range from moderate to high. Book lovers and any appreciating beauty and craftsmanship will love this heart of Main Street.

This is a very nice bookstore with so many other gifts, clothes etc. The employees were super friendly. I highly recommend visiting to explore the large selection of books for all ages!!!

Lovely and cozy as someone noted. Then there is a table stacked with pro Palestinian books that is rather disturbing. Books that are so anti Semitic, one sided and hate filled. Glorifying Hamas who are basically terrorists. Shop here if you want, but they make their stance clear by prominently displaying not just one or two titles, but a whole display. I am aware we have freedom of speech. There were just so many books glorifying the Palestinian position, books that vilified Israel. I didn’t see anything displayed like Noah Tishby’s book ‘Israel’. The books themselves have bright well designed and clever covers; it would be like putting an Andy Warhol cover on Mein Kampf and marketing it as ‘another opinion’. My opinion, passive aggressive and pretending not to be anti semitic. So here it is hiding in plain sight in the middle of historic and pretty Pittsford village. I had a couple of things I was going to purchase, and I am sure the service is lovely, didn’t feel the need to support this.

I adore this store! It has such an inviting atmosphere and has all the gifts you could possibly need. I love that there are written notes for books that are staff picks/recommendations, and the selection of books is amazing. Everyone is so friendly, and I saw a pup stop in for a treat today! You can also write a letter and they will post it for you. It’s nice to walk around the village with a coffee and stop by here for some good books and merch. Definitely will be a regular here!
