“This is the best bookstore between Montréal and Watertown, a combination of a typical University/College bookstore (with art supplies and other things), a gift store (in addition to the usual campus gear, there's stuff for tourists and family members), and a general reader bookstore about the size of a small old school Borders. The store itself is a must-visit just for the space: it's in an old gym that's been refurbished, leaving the gorgeous two-story space intact, with a full lower level and what might have been a track level in a square balcony on the second level. The upstairs is where you'll find all the college gear, art, and some games; down below are the gifts, textbook pickup, general bookstore, and younger kids games and activities.The staff were extremely nice and helpful, and while the prices are full retail for books and gifts, you will want to support the ability to browse by buying some stuff, we hope. A genuinely nice find in an otherwise somewhat disappointing (for books) pair of college towns in Potsdam and Canton.”
