Burning Books is a radical bookstore focusing on radical thoughts and books. It is an amazing bookstore with a phenomenal selection, offering books on important and progressive topics. The store has a great atmosphere and feels as though it is leftover from the 60s and 70s. It provides a great selection of material you wouldn't normally stumble upon, including fungal books, birding and nature books, posters, journals, flags, and cards. The store is laid out really well; it doesn’t feel overly cramped or chaotic, even though it isn't all that big. It is the type of place where you go in looking for one book and come out with two or three others you didn't know you needed. The booksellers are very kind, friendly, and helpful. The location in a neighborhood that is a little rough means plenty of places to park. It is a place that needs to exist, challenging you to grow and learn with alternate ideas.
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.

Awesome bookstore, after years of coming down to Buffalo from Toronto I’m happy to have finally stopped in.
