Booklovers' Gourmet — Local services in Webster

Booklover's Gourmet is a fun and quirky place. Here's why:

Books - There are new and used books, fiction and nonfiction, adult, young adult, and children.

Gifts - A nice selection of greeting cards. Some are funny and others touching. A unique collection.

Art - Every month there's a new exhibition from some local artist. Nice to view while you're browsing and you can usually purchase your favorites from the exhibit.

Music - again, usually a local artist. The setting is intimate, like having someone playing music in your living room.

While I haven't taken advantage of the following so I can't speak from experience, you can also find these at Booklover's Gourmet.

Snacks - Coffee and various baked goodies seem to always be available. Just like a good bookstore should do. Events - There are writers groups that meet regularly. Also book signings happen occasionally.

Bottom line: Booklover's Gourmet is a wonderful community resource that deserves...

This isn't a complete review as I didn't have time to try out their food/coffee. The book selection was actually pretty decent considering how small this bookstore is. I love seeing used book stores around because they have gotten more and more rare. They didn't have the book I was looking for but while I was searching I noticed they had a good mix of books both new and used. I wasn't crazy about the atmosphere, it had a witch theme going on that isn't my style. I was picturing more of a modern book/coffee shop feel but then I was met by chochkies and fairy things etc. This is the main reason I give it fewer stars. If you're into that kind of thing then this...

I've been reading through the reviews and am surprised to see complaints about non-book items in the store. With most small bookstores struggling to stay open, BLG has managed to serve this community for more than 25 years. BLG hosts book clubs, signings, poetry readings, and artist exhibits. The cafe served a wide variety of locally made pastries and hot and cold coffeess and teas.

I am able to order almost any book I want at prices competitive with Amazon. There is a reasonable used book selection, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Booklover's Gourmet...
