The coolest bookstore I have ever been in. It's not everyday you get to look at a 150 year old Bible just sitting there. Be sure to explore all the nooks and crannies!

Markus Tarjamo

If you like a unique feeling in you bookstores , this is the place for you. Old texts, the vault , and the cramped area make it feel like your in a different time and place. Worth a visit.

This store is amazing. Found the WPA Guide to NYS, which I couldn't even find in NYC. Love the enormous piles of books & bank vault .

Karen

A maze of seemingly endless rooms full of books and more books ! Found a 1933 edition of a Jane Austen anthology for $15. Incredible!

Kelsie Seehusen

This is pretty much my favorite place ever. Such a huge collection of books at great prices in a lovely old building .

Andrew Allers

It used to be a bank , so there books in a room that clearly used to be a vault ! So many rooms to look through!

Lauren Salter

I can't even begin to describe this place...the first room on the right absorbed me for an hour before I was told there were five more rooms just like it...

Greg Goddard

Don’t be fooled, this place is yuuuuge!

Todd Engel

I can spend hours in this wonderful bookstore ! Glad there are still locally owned and operated stores left.

Seth Colegrove

Very comprehensive, but not especially impressive as far as prices
