There are shelves upon shelves of books, loosely organized into sections (through the lovely worker helped me find exactly what I was looking for). There are multiple floors and sections to Small World, so if you are coming to browse, give yourself a lot of time. I came on a lunch break so I didn't explore every room, but was able to purchase two local history books as gifts. There are other fun things to buy, like quirky art and vintage postcards. According to their Facebook page, they sometimes have live bands or meditation events. Possibly the best part is the super sweet shop kitty who enjoys pets. Skip the big box booksellers and #shoplocal!

This location has seen better times. I was here about 10 years ago and then again this year. From…read morethen until now, the store has closed off sections due to less inventory. What is for sale seems less impressive than what they used to offer. However, it's still nice to be able to pick up a souvenir right next door to the historic E.B. Grandin print shop. The store felt like it has been hit by online book sales cutting into their bottom line just like any other bookstore. The end of the annual pageant will only make matters worse. I hope they stay open as it would be a loss for the area without them.

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.

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.

It's also got comfy seating and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff doesn't pressure you to buy, and even takes time to get to know you and what you're looking for. It feels like more than just a business. Also a great place for kids! Huge selection of books for all ages, and even a little reading nook! ^.^

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.

Service 3/5 Selection 5/5…read moreValue 5/5 I really like the idea of reselling used books. There was a time when I used to buy books. Not anymore. I just don't have the space in my house. In fact, I have books that are still in boxes from the time that I moved to my current abode six years ago! I never opened the boxes because I simply don't have any space left on my bookshelves. What I liked about this bookstore was that you can quietly browse and look through some books and not be disturbed and not pressured to buy. However, the woman working the counter could've said hello and greeted the customer. Maybe she's an introvert like many bookworms??! not sure. There are books of all varieties on so many subjects. I was really drawn to what people call "coffee table books" with beautiful artwork. Van Gogh. Matisse. You get my drift. I was strong and I did not make any purchases considering I have no place for these books in my house. I'm sure that these books come from estate sales and the like. It is a very good concept to resell books instead of recycle or throw in the trash. The prices of the books seemed very fair.

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.
