Books, Etc. - Macedon

I’ve never written a review before, but this place was such an enjoyable experience that I have to give 5 stars! I’m usually a very shy and introverted person who doesn’t particularly enjoy speaking to strangers, but I was absolutely blown away by how welcoming and inviting the owners were! I felt so comfortable and relaxed, and the owners have a wonderful way of making you feel genuinely appreciated just for being there. Not at all what I was expecting but I loved every second of being there. The books are extremely affordable and I got 2 books for $7!!! If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I absolutely will be coming back again. Bonus points for having cats.

Went there for a reading by Carol I really enjoy myself when I go there maryann and John the owners r the best I consider them my friends going back soon

This is my favorite place in New York State. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The book selection is diverse and unique. They have fun events and clubs and you can always find a hot cup of coffee. The real gem of Books Etc however, is the manager John. He is a gift from the universe and is sweet, loving gentleman and scholar. I always know I have friends at Books Etc.

A very eclectic store! Small and lovely. John is very sweet and there is a rich variety. Couches. Coffee. Sometimes cookies.... An oasis in Macedon and well worth the drive for books and any of the various events!

Spent another delightful afternoon in browsing conversation in my favorite used bookstore, sharing tea baked goods with other visitors. The owner is truly knowledgeable, creative, and congenial a writer, artist, retired teacher, activist, gentle soul and more who is thoroughly welcoming, a fabulous listener, and a great raconteur. Three of us left with a box and a bagful of assorted found treasures of books. Highly recommend a visit!
