I visit once a year to fill up on books for grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. I am never disappointed, and neither are the kids. I refuse to frequent the box stores that exists to squash small independents and limit my choices.

Bought some books by mistake on their website instead of the one for the bookstore in my town (which has the same name :') ). The staff kept me posted on the status of my order and was super responsive. The books arrived in just a couple of days but I then realized that it was the wrong bookstore. They were super understanding and able to refund me for the purchase right away. If I lived in the area I would 100% buy books here.

The book readings and author talks/interviews are what keep me coming back quite regularly. Sweet staff, everything is orderly, and you leave happy to have visited such a great bookstore.

They have large collection of frictions and also books that are being banned. I highly recommend this bookshop, I was fortunate enough to be there when the book club was happening.

I have loved the Odyssey since 1983, before the fires, when Romeo was still alive. They still carry a great variety of interesting books. They still will cheerfully order books for you.A staffer noticed that I was having trouble with the stairs, and stopped to tell me where the elevator was. We had a nice little chat.It is the kind of bookstore where folks notice what books you are buying and will start interesting conversations.Lots of MHC stuff, too.Was surprised that my name is still in their computer (had an account as a student there, always come in on the rare occasions I'm back on campus and was one of the alums who went out of the way to order books from them during the worst of the pandemic). Not only that, there was a coupon there for me.The Odyssey is an institution. I hope it keeps going strong for another 60 years and more.

This is a lovely family-run bookstore right across the street from the Mount Holyoke campus. Great selection of books and they were kind enough to wrap my gift items. Very strong on customer service.

Everything a small independent bookstore should do is done by the Odyssey. In addition to a wonderful selection of books and knowledgeable booksellers, they host author events, many book clubs, and community events. I've seen authors such as Dennis Lehane, Louise Penny, Garrison Keillor, David Sedaris, Rachel Maddow and Ann Cleeves at events hosted by this bookstore.
