Review from Irene L.

Buffalo Street Books is a small local bookstore conveniently located in the DeWitt Mall in downtown Ithaca, just to the left of GreenStar Oasis. It used to be the Bookery II.
It's my go-to bookstore in Ithaca because it's a small, locally owned company with a strong social justice/analysis sort of focus. Some of my more enlightened teachers have their books ordered there instead of the Cornell Store - less convenient, but they offer a student discount, and the books ordered by professors are tax-free.
They sell children's books, cookbooks, maps, travel guides, local items, CDs, literary journals and periodicals, and awesome social justice and community-building posters (e.g. Ricardo Levins-Morales).
They have pretty frequent readings with local and national authors, which are often really good, and also seem pretty open to hosting other kinds of events or gatherings (e.g. an Ithaca FreeSkool Norse Mythology class), which is great.
Every time I go, I learn something new and find something cool. So glad to have a good local bookstore to support. Loves it.Listed in: Local Lovin': Ithaca Edition

I want to say 3 stars, but I like this place better than some of the bookstores that I have given three.... Bufffalo Street Books does not seem to be strongest in any one book category. Instead it's just a good overall bookstore. It's L- shaped , and maybe small medium rather than small sized. The are raedings on fairly regular basis. They have a small selection of cd's inclduing a set of Bill Evans/ Eddie Gomez duets that I will eventually get. ...
