“This Is the best bookstore I've ever been to, and I have such a fond memory of it. I live in Texas, my son goes to Union College and I was visiting him and we found this place by walking around. Everything about it is perfect, the old building it's in, the books everywhere, the smell of books and every kind of book from antiques to new releases. One day my son was in class and I went to this bookstore alone and it started to rain, a downpour like magic. I spent the next couple hours relaxing in a chair, listening to it rain while flipping through books. The owner was there and he is perfect fit for building, the relaxing rain, the books. He is an older man and wore a sweater, the type you would imagine an intellect would ware, I bet he has read every book there! He himself is a library of knowledge. I talked to him, asked him if he had anything by Edward Young, author or "Night Thoughts" and we began a lovely conversation. He showed me his photo box he made for selling books online, I believe Abe books. I could of talked to him all day. He is the kind of person that if you do not meet or get to know, you doing yourself a disservice I bought some books that day for my son's 19th birthday. My son is always reading and the ones I picked out he soaked up. I have not been back to New York since then, (October 2021)but I need to. I talk to my son daily and i often bring up how that bookstore is an antidepressant. I hope it never closes, I hope the owner never dies. If you have a chance to go there, bring a flashlight for the rows are perfectly narrow and there are books everywhere, you will find at least one that will call to you”

“I live in Denver, and work at a remote company. I was planning a baby shower for my manager who lived in Schenectady and wanted to support a local business. I contacted them with our order and asked if they could help me with a surprise delivery for the remote baby shower. Not only did they make sure to get every book on our list, they shopped over the phone with me to find other gifts, and then packaged them up so beautifully at no extra cost. On top of that, Kathleen timed the delivery (which was a 20 minute drive for her) so that she would arrive just as the shower started and helped me keep this a surprise. This team really went above and beyond and I am so thankful there are great stores like this in the world still, who will go the extra mile for their customers. Go today and buy a book there! THANK YOU, Open Door Bookstore!”
