The Bookstore Plus — Local services in Town of North Elba

this is a horrible place with the most outrageous prices i have ever seen. I bought a box of pencils for 99$ i came home and found out that they are 37$ everywhere else. I bought them while walking the street. I wanted to get them as a gift to my girlfriend as a surprise and i was the one surprised. They do not allow returns, only store credit, which they try to trick you in two ways with this as well. First, the receipt says return for credit, not store credit. Credit means they credit you the money, exchange or store credit means they get to keep your money and you get something else. Secondly, they give you a slip of paper the size of a gum wrapper and say that it is your store credit receipt don't lose it because there are no other records. These people survive by taking advantage of people who think they would be decent, this is practically price gouging. DON'T SHOP THERE, buy from amazon or anywhere else you can have in two days for one...

Very nice little book store. I like the " old school" feel of the place, it reminds me of the kind of book stores that were common during my youth ( the 1970s and 80s).

I don't normally post reviews, but my experience here was so incredible, I was moved to put together a review. I remember the Bookstore Plus from years ago when visiting Lake Placid as a special place. I recently took my 7 year old there and the staff went completely out of their way to help us out. They were able to recommend books based on other titles that he has liked in the past, and those recommendations are now his favorite books.

As a parent, I cannot recommend enough this store for both your child's reading needs, but also your own. Nice to know places like this still exist in the world. I will be supporting this store on all of my trips to Lake Placid...
