| About: | This locally-owned, independent bookstore is located in an 1874 Victorian-era home that was once the residence of John H. Yates, a famous Batavia poet and writer. Every nook and cranny of this home is filled will a large selection of fiction and non-fiction books; there is also a children's section. Upstairs "Past Tense" features a collection of used books. Shop-owner Erica Caldwell also has some non-book items for sale, including gourmet coffees and teas, quilts, and unique gift items. Other services include special orders, out-of-print book search, gift cards and a frequent reader discount. There is complimentary gift wrap and free wireless internet. - Christine A. Smyczynski |

User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsQuality store, helpful staff: Came in to do some Christmas shopping and found a good selection of books and gifts for everyone on the list, and I plan on going back again for another look around to make sure I didn't miss anything. The samples of the tea and coffee were welcome to help fight off the cold day, and the atmosphere was inviting. I recommend that everyone stop in and check it out.
