"Despite the changing ways in which American readers buy their books, the small independent bookstores of Upstate New York have withstood the test of time and, in fact, are growing in numbers. Here are a dozen of the best ones, from the Hudson Valley through Central New York and out to Western New York. If your favorite indie bookstore didn't make our list this time around, let us know at feedback@nyup.com."
"A real favorite for the reading community of Syracuse. They have almost 60,000 books here (they sell online also), and you can buy a book here for a dollar or for $5,000. Now nearly 35 years old, this is the oldest used bookstore in Syracuse and one of the oldest in Central New York. You will be hard-pressed to come out of this popular bookstore in less than an hour. The browsing is just that good!"
"The Toad has fiction, non-fiction and a large selection of children's books. They stock all The New York Times bestsellers. The store also sells jewelry, vintage furniture, educational toys, antique historic photographs, trendy clothing accessories and more. They also have a busy schedule of in-store events, including many author readings. One great plus is that the bookstore is attached by an inner opening to Oneonta's most popular coffee shop, the Latte Lounge. It is a perfect match."
