It's just a fabulous little place. There are so many books in this place at a really good price. If you are of any kind of reader, this is a must go check. After I bought three books, I decided to try their restaurant. Service was fast and the food was fabulous. Had the udon noodle bowl. It just packed full of flavor And filled that empty spot. I'm quite sure you'll find something on the menu and enjoy.

We were quite excited to check out this bookstore during our vacation. We had just arrived in our…read morecar with our 13-year-old Labrador Retriever (we planned to take turns in the bookstore with the other hanging out with the dog), when our cellphones let us know that we were under a tornado warning and should take shelter immediately. We had no place to go, so my husband ran in and asked the manager/owner if, given the circumstances, we could take shelter there until the emergency was over. We thought, given the types of folks who tend to run independent bookstores, that question would be a no-brainer. To our stunned amazement, he said no. "Nice" guy. Our everlasting thanks to the employee who ran out into the parking lot and helped us find our way to the local Tractor Supply Company, where we took shelter. We give this place 1 star - zero for the bookstore and its owner and five for the employee, because at least one person in that place has a truly kind heart.

My first visit and I'll definitely be back…read more The store offered used vinyl, CDs and I saw a number of vintage turntables and speakers. They had less vinyl than some other stores but I still managed to walk out with a number of albums at a very fair price. Well worth a visit! It's right on the main drag so it's easy to find and in an area of other great storefronts so enjoy your time in Turners Falls.

I walked in here expecting a normal semi-lame comic book store, and holy crap was I wrong…read more Immediately saw D&D themed cookbook that I had to buy (great recipes btw). Other d&d items, manga, and even Vampire The Masquerade manuals which I thought were kinda niche and only me and my friends enjoyed it but I guess I'm wrong. Really was blown away by the quality of items in here. For a comic book store, it's a 10/10, but it is just a comic book store so don't get your hopes up. (I also ended up talking with some other people shopping about the manga chainsaw man, fun experience)

Recently we swung into Platterpus Records to look at their selection of CDs and records and have to…read moresay that we liked the selection they had. The store was packed with a ton of different records and it was nice to take some time to look through a ton of different genres. The quality of the merchandise was great, but a lot of the items were a bit overpriced in comparison to some other record store we have been to. Overall, not a bad shop! This is definitely a place to stop in at if you are looking to pic up some vintage records. They also have a ton of different items to support local bands.

The records were categorized well so it was easy to browse. Most of it wasn't my cup of tea but I did purchase a couple items to support the cause. There's a decent amount of records off the beaten path if that's your thing. I mostly skew towards punk and metal which there wasn't a lot of. I did take a flyer on one of their recommendations so I'll see when I get back home to my turntable. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

This place also has a really nice community vibe you never know who's stopping by to share in the love of music and conversation about music. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this place it's better than any holiday. They have CDs too a ton of music for all of us to discover.

Well... Size really isn't everything. This warehouse (no kidding--it's huge) full of used and…read moresometimes rare books caters to every interest and every taste in that interest. The staff is friendly, able, well-read, and genuinely helpful. And many of the books are remarkably affordable with some rare gems going for under $10 and more common books priced under $10 (often $6, $7, or $8!) Size, selection, service and value,--well, what could possibly stand against that? On my latest visit to this bookshop after more than nine months, I actually found little turn-over in much of its well-stocked shelves. Indeed, my experience recalled my last experience. And that, the one before... New titles leapt out me as I scanned books that I remembered languishing on the shelves for... well...years and years. Many of the books, while old, are actually rather common and, for the person interested in a deep dive into a subject, not particularly useful. Indeed, the bookstore suffers one of the most uncomfortable drawbacks in the antiquarian world of used and rare books: stale and/or stagnant stock. Now, that's not to say the place isn't worth the trip--it definitely is! One is almost certain to find something in any agglomeration of books this large and varied, but the compelling book, that genuinely rare and special book, is often elusive in the overwhelming power of the seemingly endless stacks of this shop. Nevertheless, it is a great spot to browse at your leisure and--yes, buy at reasonable prices, but don't expect to find the truly fabulous... Though it could be there... Somewhere... Who knows? Check it out and find out. It's well worth some of your time.
