First - the heavy scent of incense here meant that I could not stay very long. If you have…read moreallergies to that sort of thing, heads up. However, I might try a future visit with a good mask to see if that lets me stay longer, because it looks like a really great and eclectic book selection. I saw several older ones that are hard to find. The store has lots of tiny nooks and crannies full of books that feels like a mini-adventure. This is definitely a "come get lost in a bookstore for a while" sort of place. I didn't see much signage and the one book I picked up did not have clear pricing on it so I'm not sure where they rank for that.

It is a magical space for those who love books and reading them. Every book you had possibly…read moreimagined reading (and hundreds you never thought of) are probably in this store. It is owned and run by Kalissa and her husband Vinny. They are kind and charming.

(Also not at all a reflection of the staff who were friendly and awesome). If you are looking for anything social justice related though you can definitely find it here. If you are wanting to get involved in activism, protests, or progressive issues, and are very left-leaning, this is probably the right place for that. They also have pins, stickers, and a large calendar on the wall showing upcoming events. There is a small section in the front with books about local plants, mushrooms, and hiking.

A small B&N that's located within the culinary arts school and mostly focused on items geared…read moretowards the student population. It still has a small collection of books and normal B&N offerings. They also have culinary items, think knives, cutting boards, aprons, etc. They also have a small case with grab-and-go items, like sandwiches and drinks. Which is nice for tourist and student alike. The also share an area with a small cafe where you can get a to-go order of coffee. Overall: B A smaller B&N location but really it's for the student population with a few items for visiting tourists.

I am a student at NFCI and I'm going into my last semester. I go to school through a TRA trade act…read moreprogram so New York state pays for my classes and my books. Every semester New York State sends a letter to the man who runs the Barnes & Noble @NCCC and NFCI. Listing out that I can purchase with that letter anything I need for my classes. Every semester they never have my information in the system though they get the letter approximately four weeks before the semester starts. I know they don't consider me very important because I am just a student but I'm going through the same thing right now this will be my second trip down to pick up my books. I do have a life and I have other responsibilities and I can't just run down to the bookstore whenever I feel like it. I decided to put this on Yelp because if you're thinking of going here for school and you're coming in through anything but paying out of your own pocket be sure you're ahead of the game a bit or you'll be waiting forever for your books and supplies.

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).

I'd drive 45 minutes for a book hug--and I do…read more There are a lot of reasons to love Hamburg, NY--but at the top of my list is Turn the Page Used Books, a charming little haven where the books are used, the prices are kind, and the smell of paper and stories hits you in the face like a warm, nostalgic high-five. Once upon a time, I lived just 6 minutes from this gem. Now I live 45 minutes away, and I still make the trip. Why? Because walking into this place is my version of therapy. Yes, I'm the weirdo who openly sniffs the books. No, I'm not sorry. The selection is outstanding. I won't swear they have every genre under the sun, but I will say I've never left empty-handed--and I read everything from thoughtful nonfiction to weird fiction to "why is this cover so dramatic?" suspense novels. They've also got a fantastic large print section, which makes me look like a great daughter when I stock up for my mom. (Let's ignore that I walk out with twice as many for myself.) The staff? Lovely. Friendly. Helpful. Basically your dream book club, minus the pressure to finish the book on time. If you're into books and warm vibes, you're already one of the gang. Highly recommend. Bring a tote bag. Or three.

I left with a literal armful of books today and it's probably for the best that I had set myself a time limit for browsing. The sections are clearly labeled and sorted by author. If you're treasure hunting for favorite authors, bring a list, because you will want to look for ALL of them. Bonus: easy to see pricing, and very reasonable. Plus the staff was friendly of course! (and they have a step-stool if you're short and want the books on the top shelf because of course I do.)

We stopped in for a late lunch on a weekday. I was too shy to dance in as the sign suggested, so I…read moredidn't get 50% off my drink. But several local patrons did their dance and got their discount! Our food was great, even so late in the afternoon.

Normally when we go to Port Colborne, it's either to shop at Food Basics or to eat at Harvey's…read more(neither one of which has a location in Fort Erie). We haven't explored much of the rest of town. (We should probably do that some time when we rent a car.) So we had no idea that Gospel Folio Press was even there until I spotted it on a map one day. The name makes it sound like a publisher, and they do print a number of titles, but they also sell books by other publishers in their shop. It is such a delight to find a "new" Christian bookstore. (Actually, it's been there for years. We just didn't know about it.) So many have been closing down in the past few years that I was beginning to be afraid that we'd have to drive to a big city even to find one. My sweetie loaded up with a bunch of material for her Sunday school class, and I scored a book that's been on my "to be read" list for a couple of years. The selection is pretty wide, the service is friendly and helpful, and it's conveniently located between Food Basics and Harvey's, so what's not to like?
