“My only disappointment was that I didn't have a bigger budget and more time to spend here! The selection was excellent without being overwhelming. The space was used thoughtfully so that you could browse without feeling cramped or overstimulated. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Tons of recommendations on the shelves as well as curated sections for indigenous authors, local authors, and local topics. I'm certain this place is a local favorite, but was exactly the type of bookstore I look for when traveling. Will absolutely be stopping back in the next time I am in town!

**It is a little hidden, but I am not upset at all because it led me to explore the local shops on the other side of the street that I otherwise might not have based on my tight schedule and planned itinerary.”

“I love this bookstore for the variety that it offers! They have books of all genres, bookish things like shirts, bookmarks, stickers, etc. They also have a used book section and a lounge area.”

“My daughter and I were visiting campus for my 25th reunion and she needed an outfit to go climbing in Barton. Tucker was about to close down the store but helped us find exactly what we needed in no time at all, and with a smile. Thanks so much; it was awesome and so appreciated!”

“I was struggling to find a book that I was looking for that is generally hard to find at bookstores. I went to the kiosk and consulted Nick, and I was drawn to them because they had such a friendly demeanor and they were extremely knowledgeable about different genres and authors (as seen through their interaction with a customer before me).

I told them the book I was looking for and B&N didn’t have it in stock, but Nick helped guide me through the process of ordering it to the store and assured me that I could take a look at the book before deciding to purchase it, which was super helpful because I want to be sure I will get something out of the books I decide to purchase. The book I was looking for was actually one that Nick had recently read, which was awesome because they were able to give me some insights on what the reading experience was like. I loved the individualized and personable approach Nick took with helping me with my visit to B&N, and I will most definitely be stopping in again to see them with any further book questions I have.”

“Loved, loved, loved this little used book store in Ithaca Commons. Smart university kids leave behind the best selection of books. Owned by a radical anarchist publishing company? Check. That's fine? More than.”

“I was apprehensive about going into the store after seeing the other reviews about the owner, but I had a great experience. The owner wasn't there. A nice woman was very welcoming, enthusiastic about comics, and answered all of my questions. Would definitely go again.”
