Books & Melodies — Local services in City of Syracuse

I just love this place. The archive is one of the best I have seen in Syracuse (I am a frequent used-books buyer). The store is really big and very cozy to sit and enjoy flipping the pages of the books attracting you there. If the owner adds more cats to the place (I have already seen a super cute one there), this can be served as a super cozy cat cafe as well! :) The books are a bit out of order in popular shelves that I assume might be customers doing but, over all, I didn't spend more than 5 minutes looking for specific books. They had multiple editions of most of the books in my list that gave me the freedom of choice to pick my favorite translators. The music in the shop is lovely and puts you right in the mood of buying every book in the world and reading them right then and there :D The prices are cheap specially in the art section that has the best quality materials.

I'm a pretty patient person, but 15+ minutes of confusion over the total price of a small stack of book is bizarre. Still, great books, and I always find something good (favorite sections are novels, poetry, and science fiction) when I am passing through (I live in...
