I wish I had known this was here earlier. It was great browsing through and even as busy as they were I was able to get a few books purchased pretty fast. Definitely returning!

Lovely bookstore, they have pretty neat specific sections like local, gardening and mythical. It is pretty spacious here with a range of novels but each section has a limited amount of books.

This bookstore has a great atmosphere, and though their selection is not enormous, they have lots of unique books. They have really made great use of the space. I especially love the local Capital Region and Troy selections as well as their eclectic selection of cookbooks.

Pretty good bookstore! Nice selection, diverse authors, good atmosphere. Cute reading space for kids and I thought the genre organization was done pretty well. I really liked the decor on the upper shelves of the pages and paper cranes, I’d recommend looking at that!
