“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.”

“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.”

“I love bookstores generally, but local shops that are based in my community always offer the best service. Taking Leaves is the kind of place that puts little summaries and staff recommendations on the shelves where you find the book. They go to great lengths to be helpful, too. Love this place. (Head to The Aurora Caffe [sic] next door after to read your purchase.)”

“This place is fantastic. This is a really well-curated selection of used books. They also have a multi-function space in the back. The owner and employees are cool as hell and play good music and have weird (in a good way) and interesting shtuff around the space. I adore being in here. Please check it out and support it.”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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 .”

“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.”

“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.”

“Really cool old school comic store. TONS of bins to go through, and for the size, sorted pretty well. They mentioned a possible new location. That would be nice since its a bit tight, but its kinda fun like that too. Great prices too. If you are searching for missing issues, this is the perfect place to go.”
