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.

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.

It's "Christian families literature" and a lot of the stories teach a character lesson. They also create audio theatre productions. Super cool! Emily took us on a tour of the bindery and made some book recommendations.

They should be called Gaslighter. I still have PTSD from when I tried to report a libelous coworker…read more(who actually confessed to me her tendency to falsely disparage my work, a characteristic which I can document she shares in common with the office person) and, rather than bring her in to explain her actions which I came to report, her two supervisors stood over me with unmistakable grins on their faces (and you can hear it in the audio recording which I can produce) telling me I was making "accusations", that I was wrong (again without even calling in the allegedly libelous coworker), and ultimately firing me (still grinning monstrously). And then later (after I scored them on Google reviews) they would try to pretend that I had been scaring them. So yeah, this is easily the most toxic organization I have ever worked with. As a self-taught student of, and for this purpose a periodic participant in, cults (see the BITE model or simply look for the narcissist on top [that is, a person who never sincerely compliments others unless they have some mechanistically strategic reason]), I find that "Lamplighter Ministries" (or rather LAMPLIGHTER INTERNATIONAL INC) is nothing if not a hierarchy of delusional and/or sociopathic radicals, but they get away with it (leaving aside for the moment the possibility of hidden ties) because they hide their wackier doctrines behind more mainstream Christian teachings paired with banal pop culture to diffuse critical thinking. (Oops, didn't work on me.) UPDATE: I made the original Google review after, as I narrate above, they physically intimidated then fired me in retaliation for reporting a coworker trying to add lies about me to my weekly employee review then admitting she'd lied. Their whole game had then become one of faking that they were afraid of me when it was they who had physically menaced me, while I was seated the entire time (you read that correctly) and kept answering their repetitive questions and correcting their repeated misstatements during which they, standing, cornered me. When they saw this Google review, Lamplighter's top person breached a contract with me as well as evicting me their tenant (the tax record showed that the house was owned by "Lamplighter Ministries Intem" ["I-n-t-e-m"]) WITH ONE HOUR'S NOTICE (see photo of text message) prior to the end of our verbal contract. It was totally worth it though. This breach of verbal contract was no sort of isolated incident: I've documented daily-plus falsehoods often secreted until my Friday "performance review" charade, always defaming and disparaging my work or character, clearly threatened by my vastly superior skill set (in both typography and general bindery) but unable to admit it to themselves. And then this Emmy-worthy cast of characters turns around and feigns shock about this review. Delusional prima donnas to the last. When I complained and the peace officer wanted to speak with their leader, the latter got into his rancher costume and even walked bow-legged. I've never seen such a con-artist-level fear of truth in my life. I am starting to talk with public officials and find my experience corroborated and my suspicion that they never wanted to hire me long-term very nearly confirmed as well.

There are shelves upon shelves of books, loosely organized into sections (through the lovely worker helped me find exactly what I was looking for).

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.
