Every employee I interacted with was so friendly and helpful, and I appreciate that they offer to wrap gifts as well. In addition to books, they also carry stationary items like nice notebooks, calendars, and more. Highly recommend checking out if you enjoy reading or looking for a gift for a book lover in your life!

Great selection! I was especially happy with the fantasy and cookbook areas as I saw several…read morefavorites there as well as several on my to-read list. Aisles are clearly marked with genre so you can find your favorites quickly (or ignore the signs and browse everything!). I also loved the jar candles near the front counter, which have lids but you can take those off to smell the candles. Any of them lean toward a perfect "rainy day with a cup of coffee and a candle" vibe. Staff was friendly. The whole shop gives a very inclusive energy and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Parking is a challenge; find a parallel-parking spot down the street. (If you're familiar with the Elmwood area that will not be a surprise).

The owner was very friendly. He asked if I needed any help, and he offered to find any book I might be looking for. I ended up purchasing two paperback books, and he ended up giving me a book for free.

This is the bookstore that you can spend hours in browsing and come home with so many interesting reads to expand your knowledge on pressing issues of the day. As you all know, the modern world is smaller due to the internet and on this planet, we have a mix of people who are not always playing nice in the sandbox or sharing. But this is not a new occurrence. It's just more visible. Here you will find interesting reads on the antagonists and protagonists in our world drama. I attend a support Palestine Book Club meeting several times a year that is held at Burning Books. Other than this book club, there are other educational events held here. Lots of artsy merchandise to satisfy every left leaning woman's shopping dreams. Stickers and pins. Art work. Some free flyers to take home. Book bags. T - shirts. And of course Burning Books merchandise to support this independent bookstore. Check it out, especially if you want to dig deeper into social justice and political issues, and humanitarian and environmental causes. Support local. Support the small independent bookstore that will carry the books that will tell the stories. Skip the big box stores and Amazon. Their billionaire CEOs and owners can stand to lose a little business. Street parking. It's usually found in front of the store or nearby. Great people who will help you find what you're looking for and always chat with you. Get involved. This is really more than a bookstore. Check out their website.

This is a local Buffalo magazine. It's printed monthly and covers all sorts of local topics, from…read moreour amazing immigrant population to the great developments happening all over the area. Local artists and craftspeople are featured here. There is advertising from all sorts of local stores and organizations. There are write ups of city events. Pictures of various charity events around town. The space they occupy is on Elmwood between Hertel and Amherst. Is reused old space and it's awesome. I've been a few times for meetings, but I think they will give you a tour if you ask. And if you've been you'll know the answer to this - what's the largest animal in the space? Well worth the subscription price.

I was surprised at the good selection available at this small bookstore - I found some treasures in…read morethe sci-fi / fantasy section and have my eye on several others. They also have a nice selection of stickers and some other fun book-themed goods (mugs, candles, etc) so it's a nice place to find gifts for a book lover. This isn't a place to spend hours in but well worth a stop (especially if you are also checking out Rust Belt across the street). Pricing is decent and staff is friendly.

If this were Boozeworld it'd be a lot more popular, but sadly for everyone, it sells naked people…read morerather than drunk people. Although the two don't have to be mutually exclusive, and often aren't. This was a magazine store that had literally every magazine you could imagine, except for soccer, and that's why it loses a star. It seemed to have every damn thing else, but Barnes & Noble, which had less magazines - also had more soccer stuff. Go figure. What Newsworld did have that B N did not, is a very large selection of porn. It was enormous! And I'm not talking about the guys in the porn, but that too. It was kind of cool because nobody really knew porn was in there, it just looked like a normal newsagents. But yes, porn-a-riffic in there. Prices were a little lofty but hey, in America, sex sells, along with everything else apparently. If they hadn't sold porn it'd have been a little boring... i.e. more like Snoozeworld. But they did. So yay.
