I visit this shop when I'm home visiting family. It's my favorite gem in Rochester. The selection:…read moreunique, lovely, and interesting books! The prices are reasonable. I also enjoy chatting with the owner and seeing the cat, whose name, I think, is Rex.

This is a small bookstore that sells very reasonably priced used books. The books have been donated…read moreand the proceeds support the Fairport Public Library. They have a wide selection of books in various genres and age ranges. All of the books that I looked at were in very good condition. They have some newer and more popular titles as well. The store is run by volunteers, and they were incredibly nice and helpful. Be sure to check it out when exploring the village landing!

Love shopping for books here. Love the sustainability of buying a used book, but also having the…read moreoption to purchase new books. They have local authors of variety of genres and are always happy to provide suggestions. Love this boutique, the used books are super affordable. Love having a local option rather than purchasing my books online!

This place is chock full o' reads. The first room is all fiction, new and used…read more The middle room has classics, recommended, seasonal, a "spice shelf" with pepper ratings, cool book merch, book bundles. At the checkout counter they have a bunch of bookmarks and stickers available. The mid-back room is all non-fic, and had two chairs if you're the type who wants to sit with your wares for a moment. They back room is used clothing and antique fabrics, and DOES have a fitting room! There's a room for kids and teens too. I recommend you have good knees going in as there are books in every possible nook, high and low, including under tables. There's a read for every flavor and a recommendation for every reader. The shop owners are very knowledgeable of their stock. Parking- for cars I believe there's a back lot? But it's probably easier to just street park.

I ordered a book from rivers end bookstore through groupon and they never mailed me the book I…read morepurchased. Then they tried to email me and send me an ebook.

I had hours to kill before catching the Megabus back to NY and the stop wasn't far from this shop…read more I wandered in and bought a book I still haven't read yet, mainly purchased to support a local business. It was called "Hope: A Tragedy" , a blurb on the back read, "Hilarious...what David Sedaris would sound like if his neuroses revolved entirely around matters of Orthodox Judaica". Also the author of "Foreskin's Lament". No, really. I mean, what a souvenir, eh? The woman who owns the shop and I talked for a good hour, maybe more, about a little of everything. Politics, art, travel, what has changed since she was my age. I couldn't have asked for better company. During our chat no one besides the UPS guy came in. Maybe you should go, say hi, buy something. And call your mother.

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.

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.
