“Bookends” Opening at 5pm Today
Sand + Electronics = Not A Good Idea
The solution for your vacay reading needs is something called a “book” and you can start stocking up now: Bookends, the used bookstore at Albany Public Library’s main branch, is having its grand opening at 5pm today.
They have more than 2000 books ready for perursal, with prices ranging from $1 for paperbacks to $5 for hardcovers. The current hours are Tuesday-Thursdays, 5-7pm, although they plan to expand those in the future. Proceeds from the sales will go to support projects and activities not covered by the library’s operating budget.
And because we’re greedy little readers, we’re going to ask…what’s your favorite used bookstore?
The Open Door (discount bin) & Books and Pieces (limited hours) on Jay St. in Schenectady.
PS: I’ve found that hardcovers survive the beach much better than paperbacks.
Book Barn in Latham! It’s a little on the clean side (I LIKE pawing through dusty shelves) but it’s got mucho books.
And my favorite bookstore of all time is The Strand in Manhattan (although they renovated a few years back and and are now a little on the blonde wood / dust free side as well.
Dove and Hudson.
Papyri (also available through Amazon).
Gotta agree with Mike, locally, Dove and hudson – though I almost always spend more than I intended to!
I don’t think there are any bookstores in Fulton or Montgomery County (if so, somebody please tell me) so I go to Amazon.com.
You want dust? Capital Book Store, 402 Broadway. Or, as I thought it was called “BOOKS”.
I remember that place. Wow. Is it still there? I would have thought it’d be a tanning salon by now.
