An amazing, local business that also stands for the community its rooted in. There is a great selection of materials that even if you are going for a specific title or interested in a certain topic you will undoubtedly find more than you bargained for, effectively expanding your mind. What is important (to me at least) is the emphasis placed on not just adult readers, but youth, and carrying a range of works that literally encompass ALL ages.

Amazing little book store hosting a variety of banned books and other novels that will sway your heart and make you think.

I rarely comment on non-food place but I really wanna recommend here. They have a lot of book for kids/ young adult about sensitive issues that approach these conversations in a gentle way. The staff here was also friendly.

Awesome variety of books that are culturally interesting and informative. Love the place!!!!

Helpful staff and good selection. Nice looking place too very homey.

First off I walked in to 3 little kids giggling, READING books! I love it immediately. The space is warm and welcoming, its rustic feeling, DIY-ish, support the community style, and thats what youre doing when you shop at Burning Books. Theyre fully stocked with how to educate yourself on race, politics, life, childrens books and more! I found a how to make your own sour dough with tips for yogurt.. pandemic needs ya know? They have bandannas, shemaghs, journals, local stickers and buttons.. I spent a good amount of time in there and kept finding more stuff. You have to go check it out!

A Beautiful bookstore

Cute bookstore with a mission.

Really enjoy the variety of texts to choose from and especially that there are items for every age group and level of discourse! The person working was very pleasant and gave off a welcoming low stress vibe. Beautiful space too! I look forward to visiting again.

Great atmosphere, awesome staff, definitely will go back... Great convos with the owners about books, and great events!

Awesome little bookstore with cool pins, bandanas, zines and tons of socialist, political, and anarchist books (theoretical, fictional, historical, kids, young adult, and more!)So friendly inside as well!

A gem of the West Side. We get all kinds of books here from social justice to urban homesteading.

Such an awesome store! There should be more of these around. Its so great to walk into a store knowing that it is dedicated to activism and social justice issues. Will definitely go back!

Fight the power. Reconnect with people you tripped in the woods with.

To the letter, a purposeful bookshop. Cant wait to see whats in store for days to come.

Great book store with an eclectic collection of radical books for both adults and kids!

Great place

Amazing array of books for those with a progressive/leftist view of the world. Their series of films & guest speakers has been stellar. Black History Month offerings in Feb. were very informative. You have to check them out!

One of the northeasts best community bookstore, event-space and go-to spot for engaging conversations, academic advise, challenging conversations about social change, and to meet fun and cool folks.

Best book selection with friendly staff. Lots of gems you will not be able to find most places. Highly recommend.

A great book store, and a great place to open your mind!

Friendly staff, interesting selection

Great selection of books, nice employees

Best bookstore ever!!

Great book selection!

Great collection of books buy a quintessential Elmwood bookstore. If you like books about fighting the machine this is the place.

Prepare to engage your mind and heart in whole new ways. Radical bookstore stocks books, music, art and provides gathering place for lectures, activists.

Im a political moderate but I like (and think its important) to read perspectives from across the political spectrum. We had some time to kill on the last day of our long weekend in Buffalo/Niagara Falls and a Google search for used bookstores led us to Burning Books. Its a gem of a little place. The selection, while slanted to the far left, I found to be fascinating. I picked up a book of essays on resistance movements in the age of Trump. Not that I plan on resisting - I still have hope the guy will tire of Twitter and decide to be a president - but the book gave me some things to think about on the plane right home. If youre a bookphile and find yourself in Buffalo, I highly recommend checking this place out, even if you arent liberal. Also, theres a gorgeous park a few blocks away next to DYouville College thats a perfect spot to relax and read.

My daughter loved this place! Lots of interesting books!

Amazing selection and locally owned and operated. Cant ask for much more out of a small bookstore (and its also so much more)

Amazing literature and great people!

Great educational selection! I picked up three books and a zine

Friendly n helpful people

Fine, upstanding anarchist infoshop that plays a vital role in the community, youll notice if you spend a little time there. Stellar selection of childrens books, too.

Theyve got great events.

Nice place, friendly staff.
