I love the layout of this bookstore. It tickles my "must have every book" itch and looks very…read moreaesthetically pleasing. They have a large selection of a range of books as well as bookish gifts. The products sold here seem to be very good quality. I've also found some good picks on their sale carts. This isn't the cheapest bookstore, but it is definitely one of my favorites to browse for new books and gifts.

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.

Greenwood Books is a great local bookstore, one of the best independent ones in town (if not the…read morebest). They sell really quality literature on a variety of topics, especially music (fitting, given the nearby Eastman School of Music), and also including religion, fiction, technology and more. There's definitely a theme of rare, old, obscure and intriguing books on all subjects - the main running theme seems to be whatever is genuinely interesting, by any definition. Also, although there's no seating, I do appreciate that the place is not overly stuffed to the brim with books and doesn't feel overwhelming, but rather, pleasantly full of options to peruse and explore. The owner is always very nice; I (at least) once had a great conversation with her. I haven't bought a lot here, but I once purchased a beautiful book of Saul Steinberg's artwork for a relatively good price. It's well worth browsing the shelves here, maybe preceded or followed by a visit to Java's Café on Gibbs. Buy something if you can, and support a local treasure!

My friend brought me to this little used and rare book shop in the town of Perry to take a look…read morearound. I appreciated the variety of books that were present in such a small shop and was even more impressed by the low prices. Many of the books were in very good condition and I was happy to see a fair amount of booktok faves. Me and my friends picked out a couple of books for very fair prices. The store clerk was friendly and sociable. Overall, this was a nice little find.

What more could one ask for in a used bookshop? Over 14,000 books I am told, and believe it. 6…read morerooms full. Miraculously, the owner knows every book like an old friend and can put his hands on it for you, pull together a selection based on topic, or source and find it for you. Places to sit and read. Easy to browse. Value is great - it's a used bookstore! Finally I love the location, in the heart of a beautiful Perry, NY, so this bookstore can be woven into a larger destination of shops, food and beverage, and near letchworth park and Silver Lake.

I have been coming to Lift Bridge since I was a kid!…read more It is a quintessential small town bookstore with lots of books, a great kids section, and many fun toys, games, and knickknacks to look at and buy. I love coming in here and taking a stroll around the store and checking out their art and used book section in the basement. I do feel like their book selection is not as full as it once was, which makes it hard it always find the books I am looking for. If you are on Main Street or in the Brockport area make sure to shop small and locally here!

They also have bookish merch like tote bags, pins, etc, as well as some board games and toys for kids. The entire basement is filled with used books on sale.

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.
