“Super cool book shop. Incredible selection of used fiction and classics. Particularly well priced section of used heritage press stuff as well, I snagged a nice folio society edition of Moby Dick for a great price. Other stores tend to tax on that kind of stuff.”
“I really love this little book shop! It’s geared mostly to children but there are books for everyone and Meg has a fantastic collection. She’s helpful, friendly, remembers her clients, and seems to truly love what she does. I’ve found some nice, well written books that I otherwise wouldn’t have heard of if it weren’t for her thoughtfully curated collection. I’m fond of reading a book I’ve found here a few steps away at Jam with a latte. A real gem in the city.”
“Started getting my books here after my local comic shop closed. It's a bit of a trek in comparison to my local comic shop but they make up for it with such easy subscription options via the app. You get emails for all your comics well ahead of thyme and they don't harp on you to come in and get your comics. There's plenty of back issues and boxes full of old comics to sift through. Definitely give them a try!”
“I just love this store! You could browse for hours with how many options are available. It is always my go to for new books. If they don’t have it on the shelf they are very accommodating and get it in for you! Staff is always extremely helpful with recommendations and helping you find something.”
“Love shopping local and I'm glad I found this bookstore! They have a great book selection and really great quality stationary! Also the service was great! The love person checking me out lead me to the first book of a series I was going do dive into!”
“Love stopping into Barnes & Noble McKinley Mall when I’m in the area.
It’s a nice, calm place to wander around for a bit. Good selection of books, manga, journals, and random little gift stuff, and it’s usually clean and organized. I like that you can actually take your time browsing without feeling rushed. Staff are low-key and friendly when you need them, but they don’t hover, which I appreciate.
It’s also just a cozy break from the rest of the mall — easy place to decompress for a few minutes. Prices are typical Barnes & Noble, but sometimes you find good deals or something you didn’t know you wanted.
Overall, solid spot to browse, relax, and pick up a book or two”
“The store set up is continuously changing making it hard to locate specific books ,Without getting extra staff to help manage the store and help directing customers.”
“Such fun and safe space! I love going to the book club chats when I can and it’s very refreshing to hear different perspectives and find understanding with shared experiences! Kristina has definitely created a great space and book community!”
“As a culinary connoisseur I enjoyed this cute store tucked away in the Buffalo, NY area. It was small in size but delicately filled with various culinary books and crafts. Would recommend checking out if you’re a foodie like me!”
“Amazing people. Great selection of used titles. The customer service is fantastic and the owners are just gems of humans. Cannot recommend enough. Support this place”

“May Allah bestow barakah in this store. Darul Hikmah is a wonderful store where one can find islamic materials, attire, books, and more. You can also order books from their website.”
“Very friendly customer service and lovely food. Vegan friendly options and so many drink options. Had a deliciously sweet vanilla chai and the Walden sandwich. 💙”
“Really great book store that specializes in social justice issues. Along with books it has stickers, cloth bags and very informed employees. Their books tell the unvarnished truth about our country.”
“A great independent book store who provided much knowledge about African American graphic novels. They were especially helpful during the Black Lives Matter movement. I am very grateful for the help they provided and the direction given.”
“What a blessing! A wide assortment of vintage books, CDs and accessories. Ask about the pot of vines on the top of the book shelf!! I did and not only received a on time confirming lesson & prayer from the Bishop, but enjoyed awesome prayer, worship and fellowship with the woman of God tending the store. Money well spent, indeed!”
“Who would think you would get a great sandwich in a college cafeteria. I had and 'capicola??' sandwich, prepared by a guy with a great personality, and I absolutely loved it. Great bread, meat, etc. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had.”
“Is selling stolen merchandise. Takes items a customer brings for sale. She keeps them for appraisal. When you telephone to come pick up your cash, she tells you "Thank You for The Donation" . Offers no cash. Keeps your items claiming they were already dispersed around the store or sold. This husband wife team live in a large house and have money. They do not need donations. I never donated anything to them. They stole my items easily worth $150 in sales at their store.”
“It’s a nice store with a good selection and the staff is very nice and helpful. My only thing is I use and electric wheelchair and I have a service dog and it was a little hard to move around and I ended up bumping into some tables but one of the employees came over and helped me find my book and get to the register”
“They got rid of the AirPods and speakers in the book store making it almost useless and only good if you want hoodies or shirts. If you need little stuff just go to cvs or riteaid this is kinda overpriced.”
“I’m grateful that Canisius University’s Bookstore returned the call to me!I was inquiring with regard to Canisius University’s Auto Window decals.

And at the University ofNiagara University, Graduate School; just to extend my graduate education.I had considered back then to continue my education in a Post Graduate Program for aDoctorate Degree. But decided to changemy mind.Prior to formerly entering both undergraduateand graduate schools, I had also served in the military, during the Vietnam War.I attended undergraduate & graduate schools when I was in my early to late 20s. And, as well, into my 30s when I had attended graduate schools.I also had taught school In grades: K - College, in a variety of academic disciplines.Now into my 70s.

“Expensive University merchandise. Standard choices: jersey, t-shirts, mugs. Closed at 4 pm while many shoppers, mostly parents at orientation, still around. Foregone sales opportunities.”
“Locally owned shop to purchase Greek paraphernalia! With lots of customizable Honestly this place wasn't the most organized , but the guy knew how to locate everything that I asked with ease. Everything was also reasonably priced. You certainly couldn't find cheaper prices on line. Just as a heads up I am pretty sure that they do mostly customizations for their orders so you might want to get in and order what you want in advance. I particularly appreciated all of the items that they had for Kappa! Yo to the Nupes .”

“Typical college bookstore. Almost everything is obscenely overpriced. One positive is that you can order your textbooks online and ship them to the store to save on shipping fees. Upon entering the store, I was greeted by several employees, and asked if I needed assistance. I just handed them my email confirmation, and I was given my books. Easy in and out in less than 15 minutes. You can probably find the books much cheaper online if you look hard enough.”

“for one, the selection was super extensive! the intuitive organization system made flipping through issues easy a fun. not only this, the owner (and his lovely dog roscoe) was super friendly, helpful, and obviously passionate about what he does.
i’ll definitely be coming back with friends. thank you so much!!”
“EDIT: Christina called and resolved this, it was a misunderstanding and they found documentation that the carpet issue was from a prior tenant. She was very helpful and professional.
I just moved out of Lord Lancaster recently and I was planning to write a 5 star review. I have been singing Adco’s praises to people on Reddit asking for apartment recommendations and I am constantly telling people how great it is there. They’re now nickel and diming me over the security deposit and it’s so disheartening because I truly loved the place and never had an issue until now.
It’s very clean, landscapers and snow removal come immediately throughout the year. Maintenance team is wonderful. I really put my heart and soul into maintaining my unit. I’m sad that they’re ripping off a single mother especially when my neighbors left litter in the common areas, constantly had smells coming out of their place and did not take nearly as good of care of it as I did. I guess if you rent here just be aware you may not get your deposit back even if you scrub for hours before you leave: it’s very odd to me because I’ve lived in several rental properties and never had this issue.”
“Great selection of new and used books, magazines, and vinyl. The owner was lovely and shared info about the shop’s book club and events. A truly community-minded space. Looking forward to spending more time there this winter.”
