Local bookstore. Huge selection of new & used books, comics, and gaming. If you cant find it, ask the staff. I have yet to see them stumped. Plus, its definitely a unique atmosphere. Do you like the smell of old books and wood? Enjoy the nice creak of an old wood floor? This is your place.

Rude employees that don’t want you to shop there! I came to shop here with my toddler, not only is the store and employee not accommodating for a child in a stroller they were reluctant to even help and would rather lose business than to help me, the only customer in the store!

Always nice to pop in and visit. So many comics to choose from. Chances are theyve got something youre interested in. Books, comics, board games, dice sets, dice games, mtg. Two floors of things - youre gonna find something you want.

I love new/old book store nice selection of comics and books for all.

We went there with our grandson to see what they had. My grandson loved it and my wife picked up a few new books. We will be back.

Great new and used book store. Explore both floors! They also have comics, graphic novels and boardgames.

They didnt have the book I came in for, but I found several other awesome titles so absolutely thrilled anyways! Always something great in store, and they can always order other stuff for ya.

Mostly a book store but i was looking for comics. A bunch of stuff for a buck so cant complain there...but couldnt find any UFO or paranormal books either.

Staff is great, wide selection of books and many different genres. Wonderful place

The staff is always pretty friendly, and I always find something interesting when I visit.

Very disappointed. As advertised, they do not trade and do not offer up to $6 per book trade in value. Took in 10 books on good condition and they offered $9 credit or $3 cash.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great selection.

Great place with Great People. Always helpful and will go out the way to help you

A local treasure! new & used books, comics, games. best selection of graphic novels in the tri-state area. geek paradise!

Great store and crew. I go for games and comics, but I love lookong at all the old books. They have new ones too, but it is like hunting for something special. They get so many cool books.

Books Galore is a great place to find gaming items. I am not a gamer, but the person who helped me was informative and knowledgeable on Dungeons and Dragons, the current edition, past editions, and the various items. The initial employee I encountered explained where various genres of books were. They took.time to help every customer who came in.

I cannot get enough. I love the atmosphere, how the staff actually knows about books, and there is something for everyone.

Nice small shop evenly split books and comics, new releases and some reades and back issues.

I usually love this place but on my last visit, the staff was short and curt and not helpful.

A great used bookstore. You will be amazed at all the books they pack into a small building.

If people focused on what is important there would be more places like this left

Great comic book store!!! Definitely suggest to anyone in the area! Have a good selection of products. We in particular were looking for a certain expansion to a card game we have and they did not have it in stock. But the lady who was working today was very kind and generous and we told her the product we had in mind. She went to her computer and put in a note to let the one who buys supplies to make sure he purchases it. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere in Books Galore!!

Big comfy book store! How could you lose?!?

Best place in town for books of all kinds.

Awesome place!!!!! Very friendly and helpful.It was my first coming in. I definitley will be back more often. They had exactly what i was looking for 😄

LOVE this place. Part of the heart of Erie. Whenever I need a book, I always check here first. LARGE inventory, well organized, knowledgeable staff, laid-back environment... I have spent hours in here.

Always welcoming and do their best to help find or rider what desireThrough Covid-19 times they have adapted while putting safety of customers at forefront.From subscription files to selection to accessibility, A+

One of the best bookstores Ive ever shopped. Staff is great. Selection covers everything from philosophy, mysticism, non-fiction, comics and graphic novels, and much more.

Great little used book shop.

The have a phenomenal selection of games, both card and table top! Theyre my go-to place when Im looking for a new game, new D&D campaigns, and even magic the gathering supplies.If not for the massive comic book and novel selection, check this place out for their game selection!

I love this place. Books Galore is a 3 or 4 bedroom house stuffed floor to ceiling with books, graphic novels/comic books, and even some games and gaming tools. No matter where you turn there are books of some kind on the ground floor and upstairs, in every room, on every wall and on floor to ceiling shelving through out the center of each room. Its an amazing world of its own that any book lover would adore! The giant Spiderman beside the building makes it easy to spot, too!

The gentlemen behind the counter was very knowledgeable about both Marvel and DC comics, and he engaged with and let my 8 year old look at 30 or more action figures before he finally decided which one he wanted. They were all very friendly and it feels good spending money at a local business.

As a book lover, this place is magnificent! So many books, varying between graphic novels and comics, to vintage. Books Galore is a fantastic place to visit even if you just want to explore!

The staff was super friendly and helpful

Always had a helpful staff when I was a youngster seeking the next issue of my favorite comic series!

The best comic store ever. Simply the best, they even got Godzilla comics! More than I can for other stores

I have found many great used books here at fair prices. Service is always friendly. Very large store. Great vibe, in the vein of old school book stores. Who are these Barnes and these Nobles anyway? 😄

They have a good selection of both comic books and used books. They also offer monthly specials and deals. If you love to read, stop by and check them out.

Great place staffed with great people! Always a joy to be in the store and talk with nice folks.

Full of comics. But lacking on the manga aspect. Lots of games and books.

Always a pleasure to browse or look more seriously. They have it...or theyll find it for you. Great selection!

Always a large selection of books, comics, and games to choose from.

Nice shop the people working there are really nice and helpful

I gotta say its quite a cheeky little bookstore! Was pleasantly surprised, it may not have the biggest selection of hard to find books, but it was fun hunting through shelves just to find something I didnt know I was looking for while trying to find something else. It was a great time.

What an interesting store. Its an old house. There are books here that are copy written 1929. Theyre also books that are more modern prices for great the people were helpful. Bathrooms at the old fishing. During which is reminiscent of the house. Comic books games but mostly books books books to floors of books.he saw three signs on the south side of the brick building as we were going north and decided we have to stop there. One of the people with me spend $160 on books. All of the people with me came out with boxes of books.

The best book store you will ever find. I have no problem driving an hour and half every once in a while to explore the shelves of this wonderful shop.

I always loved coming to this place growing up, and they still have yet to disappoint. Whether youre a gamer, book lover, or comic book enthusiast, they have it all. New and vintage books and comics (vintage books often dating back to the early 1900s, special edition and vintage comics such as 1960s Spider-Man can be found behind the counter for safe keeping), tabletop games and tons of cool dice, and even your favorite family board games like Apples to Apples or any liscensed version of monopoly you can think of (Think Avengers themed Monopoly). If youre looking for anything truly unique (or maybe a little weird), this is the place. A must visit if youre passing through Erie, a staple if youre a native! They can even order something specific for you if you have a particular item in mind. If you plan on stopping by a lot be sure to ask about their Books Galore club for discounts and members-only sales, itll be worth it!

The staff is very helpful and friendly. I always love going here and finding my book treasures! If they dont have it, theyll order it for you! ♡

Great selection of used and new books, comic books, and games. Prices are always fair and the staff is always helpful. Check here an support local before going to Barnes and Noble or Amazon!

Used books, new books, comic books, roleplaying game books, kids books, you get the idea!Great place. Fun to explore. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great little place. Books new and old, comics, games, knickknacks. All at a decent price. Usually you find little stores like this mark products up quite a bit, where as here its the same price as shopping online. Fantastic. People who work here are great, knowledgeable about pretty much all in the store and dont be afraid to ask questions. If they dont have something theyll gladly order it for you too. Love coming here.

Huge selection of books. If you are missing something there is a good chance it is here.Small but varied collection of board games as well.If you are not a regular the staff seems less likely to be friendly. Not rude.. just .. not friendly.

Good prices, and amazing service. Everyone there is so nice and easy to talk to. Huge selection of books and games too. Will definitely be revisiting.

They had exactly what I was looking for when the big book stores didnt. And even found my 5 year old daughter a cool my little pony comic book. However I dont understand how they do not have a system to look up to see if they have a book or not.

We love this place. Youll find all sorts of interesting things here. We mainly go for dice and unique board games.

The staff is super helpful and very knowledgeable- they saved us a lot of time and helped us pick up exactly what we needed!

Great place. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and honest staff! Go check them out!

This place is awesome! When they say books galore, they arent exaggerating. Multiple floors of books in a large old building! They carry a lot of board games, card games, comics, used books, and old comics. You could spend days looking through all the books they have.

Even if options werent limited in the area, this would be my choice for new and especially used books. Tons of new and older comics as well, tabletop gaming accessories, collectibles, its just a wonderful place to be a nerd. The staff is super friendly and will go out of their way to find what you are looking for. Great place to get into an argument with a stranger about who would win a fight between Batman and Superman.

If youre a book lover, THIS is the best place in Erie to go! I went and spent 2.5 hours and a gift certificate. LOVED IT!

Love this place. If you have some time - and trust me, you will need some time - visit them and browse the thousands of books they have. You can always find something interesting!

Great store! Large book/comic collection with a ton of used books. The used book prices arent very cheap for the thrifty, but if it helps them stay open, Ill pay a little extra for the ability to search the stacks. I definitely recommend going on free comic book day. Nice staff, fun people around (sometimes in superhero costume), a free comic, and last year they had half price on used books. Overall, Im happy the Erie has Books Galore.

Looks small from the outside but it has much more room than you would expect, a excellent selection of comics, novels, graphic novels, manga and table top gaming supplies. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves reading or playing those kinds of games.

Excellent selection, with a knowledgeable staff that are eager to help with your needs. Theres so much more than comic books here as well! Help support this local business!

Friendly atmosphere and courteous staff.

Fred loves their prices. Hes never been disappointed when looking for a book or 2.

Theyve had the same small selection of books for the past 2 years that Ive visited. Yet the comic book selection seems to be booming so if youre into that then I recommend checking it out. But If youre looking for a wide selection of philosophy books; you will be disappointed.

Been coming here for almost 30 years love it. Very friendly and helpful. Amazing selection.

Its a lovely place for free comic book day! If they dont have the specific comic book you are looking for though, then you should go elsewhere. Its great for browsing.

This place is amazing! Selection is fantastic, and there are SO MANY books! You could spend days in here.

Pretty great selection, but extremely overpriced. A single dice set is $10 and I could get the exact same set for $3 online. The lady at the counter wasnt very personable and it felt as if she was irritated by my inquiries. However, the gentleman at the counter was extremely polite.

Been going there for years. Always a variety of books, comics, games D&D, cards, etc. New and used books. Helpful staff! GREAT place to take your kids too.

My kids love to read and this is a great inexpensive place to allow them to wander and hunt down books for them to read. Plus I can always find the classics or other books from my childhood that I would live to share with them

As youre driving down peach street it is pretty difficult to miss the giant spider man out in front of this store, and yet it might seem like a place thats not worth visiting. Youd be surprised.As you walk into the store you see shelves to the ceiling (literally) that are plastered with comic books. Walk through those few aisles and you might start to say, wow they have a really big selection for a small store. But dont stop there, venture behind the checkout counter (which seems weird, but its actually the bulk of their stock) and you will find yourself in two more small rooms filled with the same shelves and books to the ceiling.Head upstairs to the second floor and youll find four more large rooms all filled to the brim with books, including one of my favorite sections, the bargain bin (25 cents for Serpico!?!).On certain days of the week they also open to third floor up, where it is rumored that they have rare comic books (although I havent been back on one of those days yet so I can neither confirm nor deny.)Altogether, awesome experience. Theyve taken a large old style Erie house and turned it into an awesome used bookstore that can easily hold its weight against the likes of Barnes and Noble or Borders.Not to mention that their prices are incredible. I havent seen a book in there going for more than $6, even hardcover! The comic books are also very reasonably priced (although it seems like many of them are new and they do cost more). My husband and I have been repeat customers since and will continue to be. GREAT FIND!

Serious love for this amazingly well stocked shop! The prices are great & staff super helpful! Really great prices on used books & back issues!

This place is amazing. I cant wait to go back.

Great locally owned bookstore. They have 3+ levels of all different genres of new and used books (primarily used) and masses of comics. Im a mom of 3 boys and I know next to nothing about comics. The staff there are incredibly knowledgeable and help my boys find whatever they need. And they make suggestions and guide me when I hav e no idea what to get them. Only downfall is its a tight fit. Makes it hard to move around when bringing my 1-year-old that I have to carry. Highly recommend.

Great selection of new and used books. Toms of comics, and games. My family always wants to stop here if we are near Erie.

Was pretty cool never been there only went 2 times

Great selection and great prices! Staff is great too, very helpful!

The only local comic shop in town but one of the best I have been to in 30 years of collecting comics. I have lived in 4 different states and 6 different cities and Books Galore ranks amongst the best LCS. It also has an awesome used book selection.

Best comic book selection in town. Member specials definitely worth it. Staff always available to help find what you are looking for.

Can always find amazing things here.

Great place to find used books and new/used comics. It can be a bit hard to navigate, but usually the staff is willing to help. They also have a few games and figurines for some of the more collector orientated.

Still the same GREAT Book store I remember as a kid! Found lots of treasure while visiting. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Very nice staff

Best place for comics in the area. Something for everyone🤗

Love this store, they have all kinds of books, comics, and games. The staff are super nice and always willing to help you find anything youre looking for!

Loved it! One of the best local book and comic store Ive ever been too.

Great book store. Lots of comics and good deals.

Always has been eries gonto shop for comics, books, games both board and role playing. Great staff and fair prices. Youll definitely feel like a kid on a Saturday afternoon in 1987 every time you stop in!!!

3 floors backed to capacity with new and used books, graphic novels, action figures, games, etc. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff. They do trade ins, events, promotions. Fantastic shop!

Great place to find old books and new ones alike! Great selection of comics and graphic novels, table-top games and accessories and of course, books!The staff are all super nice and very helpful.

Cool little shop with comic books, new and used books, and board games.

Book lovers need to visit. All kinds of books. A whole house full. We almost always stop when we visit Erie.

Great little place. A book and comic book store catering to all tastes. Well stocked with something for everyone.

It is an entire building filled with books from floor to ceiling. I love it. They have everything you are looking for and a maybe a few things you werent looks for either.

Great place to buy new and old comics/books/collectables. Very clean and organized store. Super friendly staff.

Friendly people and the whole store is filled with that nostalgic comic book smell, would definitely shop here again

My girlfriend and I decided to take the hour drive to Erie (we live closer to Buffalo) and try books galore solely on the strength of the few reviews here, and were not disappointed! as other reviewers have pointed out, the comic selection is excellent, and the staff is friendly. in light of the relative lack of comic options in the WNY area, we will be returning every month. thanks!EDIT: just a side note for the record, the place is substantially larger than it appears from the road. very well-stocked mom-and-pop store.
