296 Hudson Ave, Albany“Loved the store. Clean is the first word that comes to mind. Light the second. Often used book stores smell weird, are dusty, and are dark. All the opposite for Dove & Hudson.Nice selection of books, in great condition.The person at the counter was great.Bonus: clean restrooms.”
“We needed to order a large quantity of books on fairly short notice for a workshop we were putting together in Albany. Everyone at the Book House was friendly, responsive, and personable! They were also efficient and were able to get our last minute requests fulfilled with no problems. They are lovely and we highly recommend getting your books here!”

290 River St, Troy“Great book store location inside a corner brick factory in Troy. This book purveyor was packed with every book, magazine, seats, pens & paper, journals, flyers, post cards and note pads you can imagine. The sections are organized by nature, poetry, marriage, history etc. This place is very bright and there are soft seats to sit in by the front windows. Needs a few more staff on site. Review: 5”
“Such beautiful used books, some different languages, classics, beautiful and well cared for editions. I hear they also have an online database for their books that expand out of what they have in store”
“I really love this place. They have gifts of all kinds. Stuff you wouldn't find anywhere else. Of course books are there too. I recommend you check it out. I found a few Christmas gifts and am going back to pick up some more”
“It is sad that this store is reducing its variety of books while obviously pandering to the woke books. I wish b&n would be a hub of knowledge rather than a hobbyist of fads”
“Overall this seemed like a very cool hobby/game shop with a very active local community. I walked in and the place was buzzing with players engaging in what I think was a Magic: The Gathering tournament. I originally walked in to see if I could find some terrain for Warhammer 40k. They had a couple items but not what I was looking for. However, I was surprised by the amount of cool items they had in the back area like paperback science fiction novels, old comics and magazines, as well as collectibles and action figures. Will definitely visit again.”
“Coolest campus swag. Yeah prices can be a little high here, but it’s real UAlbany campus merch. If you have no time to get a gift for a friend or running out of ideas, check this place out. Something for everyone.”
