    Cozy corner in Odyssey.
    Julia D.

    Odyssey Bookstore is tucked in the coziest basement corner of a gorgeous historic stone building conveniently located right across the street from Press Bay Alley. I spent over an hour browsing the thoughtfully curated book collection, which included a particular fun cookbook section that caught my eye on this transition season that calls for regular soup. There is also a cute & engaging children's corner, if you have kiddos in your life!

    Odyssey bookstore is a book lovers dream come true. They have a great selection of books. I found what I was looking for plus a a few surprises that I'm excited to bring home. Housed in a historic building and filled with unexpected touches (check out the mural in the bathroom!) You must stop by and see this amazing place!

    The workers know their stuff and they are happy to share their knowledge. We greatly enjoyed visiting this gem in Ithaca. They care about good reads and they care about the community, both are evident in their shop. Make sure you check this place out. #readlocal

    I am writing to echo the sentiment of several reviewers here as I too experienced an uncomfortable…read moreinteraction with who I believe is the owner. My wife and I were checking out the Ithaca Commons and leisurely walked into this comic shop. As soon as we walked in, the owner asked if we needed help. I said I was just browsing. He then asked if I collected comics. I said I used to up until 2005 but then sorta lost interest due to the over-saturation of the semi-annual crossover events, but I still have a rough knowledge of the happenings in the current Marvel Universe. The guy then started getting really pushy by suggesting that I get back into comic collecting by picking up a trade paperback. I felt pretty uncomfortable so I just kept browsing around the store. My wife tried making small talks asking if he had any nearby restaurant suggestions. He gave an awkward answer (I'm paraphrasing here), "not really, food is food." And then resumed pestering me to buy a book. If I haven't bought a comic in the last 20 years, what makes him think that I was gonna start in his shop during a trip 3000 miles away from home? I was getting really uncomfortable at this point with the awkward silence so I picked up an issue that I had mild interest in. I imagine if we walked out empty handed he would have scolded us like he did to many other people here. 2 stars instead of 1 because he wasn't awfully rude I guess. ‍

    Best place in Ithaca to buy comics they have a good selection of old and new comics and if you…read moredon't want to miss an issue of one you can get a subscription.
