One of the coolest concepts for a bookstore I've ever seen. Not only do they have an excellent…read moreselection of new and used books, it's actually a branch of the local county library system, so you can borrow books/audiobooks/DVDs while you're here! The gift selection is full of great items too like tarot cards and collectibles, and they host community events like poetry readings that I love attending. Library Express is a must-visit when in Scranton and I'm so grateful for all they add to the community!

Finally decided to stop here after driving by the sign for "Books" for literally years. The store…read moredoesn't appear to be very large from the outside, but, you may find yourself slightly overwhelmed once you walk in. The books are practically floor to ceiling in some areas with many of the shelves being two stacks deep. Books are organized by genre and first letter of author's last name. Genres range from Mystery and Romance to Classics and End Table books. There is also a room full of children's books and a decent selection for young adults. I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere of the store. It is relaxed and fairly quiet. No one comes up to ask what you're looking for (although you can ask for specific titles/authors if you need) or eyes you while you're digging through the stacks trying to find exactly what you want. There are several step stools around to help you reach the highest shelves and be sure to grab a shopping basket at the entrance, as you'll likely need one. Remember, all of these books are used and come in varying conditions. All of the books that I purchased were in good to excellent condition. For the price of $3 per book, you can't beat it. He even accepts trade-ins, which then brings the price down to $2 per book, if I understood correctly. He accepts cash and credit. I have no complaints at all and will definitely be going back to gauge how often the stock changes. Thankful to have a used bookstore nearby. What I spent today on 12 books wouldn't have even gotten me 3 at Barnes & Noble.

For too long my area was without a bookstore, so you can imagine how happy I was to see Known Grove…read moreappear a few months ago. It was a welcome sight, and "welcoming" is truly the appropriate word to describe this shop since its inception. The owners are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, offering a wide selection including popular titles, classics, rare finds, and oddities that are definite conversation starters. I find and learn something new every time I venture into Known Grove. Best of all, their prices are extremely reasonable and they are constantly restocking their shelves with new offerings. Without a doubt, Known Grove is a must stop if you find yourself on Main Street in Honesdale, PA or the surrounding area. Such a cool place, such a great vibe, and so much to discover.

Browsing their inventory - it's extensive and generally well organized - is kind of entering a time warp. You won't find that much fiction published in, say, the past 20 or more years. But going back further is where they have their depth. Want, for example, to fill out your Erskine Caldwell first edition collection? They've got you covered. It's actually a little uncanny. (I almost expected to bump into Rod Serling prowling the stacks during my most recent visit.) Staff persons on duty during both my visits over the past two years were very friendly and helpful.

The…read morestaff was friendly and the books are incredible- I've never seen so many topics, with reasonable prices. I purchased several books on that visit, and eagerly looked forward to visiting today- planned the whole day around it. Got to the bookstore but quickly felt a call of nature. The sole staff member, clearly irritated, informed me there was no public bathroom, but that I could find them across the street at the Owego info center. I went into the info center only to be informed that their bathrooms are private, too, and that Riverow has been told "repeatedly" to stop sending people there. The desk attendant was kind & let me use the restroom. I returned to the bookstore deeply mortified. I couldn't bring myself to stay and didn't purchase anything. I left feeling humiliated and disappointed, especially since I live far from Owego and this was a special occasion.
