Four stars for the selection, but honestly I'd rate it much lower for the smell. As others have…read morementioned, this bookstore smells like smoke, and of course old books since this is a used bookstore. As someone with severe asthma, I just couldn't stay in this store for very long. Just not my cup of tea, but might be yours. They had a very large selection of a wide range of used books, and it was very well organized and pretty tidy compared to other used bookstores. This was one of my stops on the Rochester Book Crawl, so I might not have otherwise explored this shop. The bookseller was very nice and helpful.

Greenwood Books is a great local bookstore, one of the best independent ones in town (if not the…read morebest). They sell really quality literature on a variety of topics, especially music (fitting, given the nearby Eastman School of Music), and also including religion, fiction, technology and more. There's definitely a theme of rare, old, obscure and intriguing books on all subjects - the main running theme seems to be whatever is genuinely interesting, by any definition. Also, although there's no seating, I do appreciate that the place is not overly stuffed to the brim with books and doesn't feel overwhelming, but rather, pleasantly full of options to peruse and explore. The owner is always very nice; I (at least) once had a great conversation with her. I haven't bought a lot here, but I once purchased a beautiful book of Saul Steinberg's artwork for a relatively good price. It's well worth browsing the shelves here, maybe preceded or followed by a visit to Java's Café on Gibbs. Buy something if you can, and support a local treasure!

I was so happy to find a book store in Canandaigua and was excited to see that they were used…read morebooks! This store was quite well organized and had a good variety to choose from. The prices were good and I was happy to walk away with two books that have been on my list. My main negative for this shop was the placement of the children's books. They are in the back room which is a pretty far back there and a bit darker/more cluttered. I'd prefer to see the kids books in a spot that is more visible to adults and more welcoming.

New books were in pretty good order. The used books were a little bit more haphazard. Which I think…read moreit's actually a rule about used books. But everything was pretty clean, not too dusty. A lot of Harlequin romances, which is really cool. Large sections of used sci-fi and mystery. Nice lady at the front desk. I got several new books. There were a few dollars off the regular price. And I'm not sure they were actually new or if they were just newer, ya know? Because they weren't new, new. Lol. Anyway, I had a good time perusing the shelves and purchasing things I didn't need, including some little book earrings.

The cafe has a large amount of seating and makes for a great spot to read or catch up with a friend.

I enjoy the fact that he doesn't mark the books up out of my price range- I buy used because I cannot always afford to get new books.

The books also seemed to be priced reasonably as well. Definitely a future first stop if I'm browsing!

Writers and Books is a wonderful non-profit literacy center dedicated to promoting reading and…read morewriting. They have a book store on site and host workshops, and events with authors in person. The building is quite large and has on site parking with a back lot. I was very excited to learn of a free event with graphic journalist Joe Sacco. The event was free and I found great value in the conversation with Joe Sacco and Daniel Worden. I learned a lot about the authors body of work and felt it was a great evening focused on the arts. I also learned Writers and Books hosts events like this throughout the year and brings authors to the Rochester area to discuss their works. As previously mentioned, The book store had new and used books, including books by the visiting author available to purchase and have signed. I also enjoyed an interactive typewriter display where you can type out a line and add to what others have written before you. A wonderful organization with a worthy cause, I hope to attend more events in the future and visit the bookstore when in the area.
