He was more than happy to show us items behind the counter and you could tell that he was just happy and proud to talk about the things he's collected. He really loves what he does and it shows. The store has a bit of everything for everyone, just shelves and shelves of stuff you could spend hours looking at. We left with some amazingly unique and eccentric items, even scoring a deal after some negotiating. An amazing store and an amazing owner.

This place is what I think of when I think of comic shops. It's kind of small, packed to the gills,…read moreand there is a slightly awkward older guy behind the counter who knows his shit. There are not a lot of frills in the store, and it's not for collectible figures and random stuff like that. It's comics and a comics guy. Lots of new stuff. Butt tons of back issues. Of course, the problem with the store like this is space doesn't allow things to be displayed easily. Which is why you need The Comic Guy. (Note: The Comic Guy could be of any race or gender, obs, but does tend to be a quirky cis white dude.) He offered general, generic help when we walked in. And then when he saw Hubbo might be looking for something he checked in again. And then he knew what he had and where it was. Awesome.

Every nook and cranny is neatly filled with books and unique items from my childhood such as Archie comics and cassette players as well as record players. The owner is incredibly kind and knowledgeable and shared so much about his physical location and online store. I was able to get my book and a bonus book to celebrate my birthday. I will definitely be back! Thank You!!!

The Bookmark, formerly of Newton Plaza (a theme of Newton Plaza stores is invading my brain right…read morenow from a recent trip, so anyone not from the area probably should just skip the reviews), used to be a second job for a teacher in our Shaker High, Ms. Skeals. She was an incredibly nice person, very engaging, and just all around a good teacher. She was younger than the average age I would say at our school so she taught sensibly with a much closer ear for teen tendencies, attitudes, she was just much more in tune. Anywho, occasionally I would drop by the Bookmark because it was the closest local bookstore to home if I had to purchase anything. We'd talk about movies and such, and the cover of the Bread and Tulips DVD, which that particular cover the actress reminded me a lot of Ms. Skeals, so we had what you call a laff riot over that one. It was a good film exercise/quiz before heading on to other things during the afternoon. The bookstore itself was nothing too fancy; they certainly could not cover as much ground as the huge Barnes and Noble on Wolf Road, but what could? they did not specialize in used books and comics like the Book Barn over on Delatour either, but this was an easy bookstore to navigate for the general selection of classic fiction as well as current non-fiction. And it was next to the Starbucks, the only one in the immediate area. So that was an easy one-two punch.

The store smelled horrible, but I was determined to find treasure. I walked out with 4 albums. Later that evening, I checked my receipt and found that I had been overcharged from the sticker price on one of the albums. As a semi serious collector I also loaded my new funds into my Discogs collection, and discovered that each of the albums were overvalued at this store by $15-$20. So, shame on me for not checking, Shame on them for ripping off customers. I won't be going back. If you want vinyl at a fair price, The Re-Collector is only a block or so away.

I was searching for a local sticker for a souvenir, but I didn't see any at the bookstore. I did find some nice postcards for the city of Troy that I bought. They do have a bag surcharge so bring your tote bag. I loved the staff picks display right at the front door - lots of good options! The selection seemed to range from best sellers to local authors, kids' books, and more. The building is historic and unique, and I'm really glad I got to check it out.
