POST - COVID REVIEW - I have been trying to stop at this bookstore since COVID began, but they have…read morevery limited hours for the public. I stopped at another store (Touch of Grayce) in Geneseo, who happens to know the bookstore owner very well and they gave me the website for the online bookstore. I was very excited to be able to support a local bookstore in this manner post COVID. https://bookshop.org/shop/sundancebooks I only ordered books listed IN STOCK at Sun Dance. I did not order any new books or upcoming books. I did this on Friday 8/21. On Monday, 8/23, the email updated with a tracking for the package showed they printed a label (which conveniently converts it to shipping in your email, which is NOT accurate). It is 8/26 now and they still have not shipped the books, the package is still listed as having a shipping label printed. Incidentally, I live exactly one town over. These books aren't going a distance. I thought I would support local, instead of a chain bookstore or the big book jungle. If I needed these books quickly, I would be sorely disappointed. I doubt I will order through them again.

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!

Roadtrip pit stop! This bindery is reviving old stories from 17,18,19th sentries from inside this…read moreold church. 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.
