Yesterday's Muse Books

An excellent used bookstore!! I really enjoyed my time here and highly recommend Yesterday's Muse. We spoke with the owner, very nice and extremely knowledgeable!! I can't wait to be able to come back! I really wish I could give 10 stars!!

This "used" book looks brand new. The seller, "Yesterday's Muse," took great care in wrapping it for safe shipping. The book arrived in good time. This bookshop is attentive and thorough, including inserts in the shipping box such as the invoice, a business card, and a thank you card with a scan code to view other books. I'm very impressed and would absolutely recommend this seller to anyone who loves books.

I ordered a first edition book of poems by G. K. Chesterton from this bookstore. I was pleasantly surprised it arrived earlier than expected and the book was in excellent condition. I'm planning to give it as a gift so I was so pleased with this purchase. Moreover, the manager was so nice to speak with, knowledgeable and experienced. I highly recommend this book shop! It's hard to find stores like this anymore. They're as rare as the books they sell!

A beautiful store with an amazing selection of all kinds of books.

What a wonderful little store! I was amazed by the tidy organization and sheer amount of books this store has (staff was extremely nice / helpful, as well).

It has a little bit of everything to please all literature enthusiasts. Will definitely be coming back here in the future!

So glad to have a privately-owned bookstore in Webster. This is a really peaceful place to browse. Well-organized, well-stocked. A fun way to begin is by perusing the 'Recently Acquired' shelves. Lots of treasures. I don't get to spend as much time there as I'd like to...

Yesterday's Muse is an excellent used book shop in the village of Webster. They had a great selection, organized extremely well so it's easy to find what you're looking for. They had lots of classics and in-demand books. The prices were on the high side for used books, but most of their volumes were quality and many quite difficult to find, so the high prices may be justified. Don't miss the discount rack!

Visited this shop for the first time on Monday, 13 July 2015. Ample free parking. Clean, well-organized shop with a wide variety of books at all price levels. Happy place with an informed and pleasant and helpful owner. If traveling to or near Rochester, it is definitely worth a small detour to visit and buy here.

Much more than an average used book store! This collection is carefully curated by an experienced, talented antiquarian bookseller. If you are serious about buying important books + or not so important - in the best possible condition, shop in person or online at Yesterday's Muse! Tell Jonathan an Christine I said hello! 😊

Wonderful little bookstore specializing in vintage and collectible books. Has a wide selection of more affordable editions as well. I really like their atmosphere and the staff as well. Very helpful and accomodating!

I recently purchased from Yesterday's Muse Inc a 3 volume set of a hard-to-find work. Their communication was stellar, and the packaging/shipping was the best of any I've experienced in probably two years.
I plan to be a return customer :)

Very happy with the selection and overjoyed with the prompt service for my online order. Arrived earlier than promised, and was carefully packaged so no damage would occur. Highly recommend this store.

My favorite used book store in the Rochester area. They just reopened after covid and I was hugely excited to head back. It has such a great variety but also does a good job of mixing in some organization that is lacking in most used book stores. All around just a great experience

I've known Jonathan since the winter of 2010. He is a very knowledgeable guy, honest, and his store reflects that. He'll bend over backwards to make sure you receive the book you want, and has an amazing in-store and online selection.

WONDERFUL neighborhood used bookstore! You can find classics to rare treasures. Passionate staff are always eager to help you find just what you're looking for and possibly other pleasant surprises. Highly recommend.

I placed an order with Yesterday's Muse on the Abebooks.com website. They shipped my book promptly, extra time and care was taken with secure packaging, and the book was exactly as described. I would gladly order from Yesterday's Muse again!

Nice bookstore. Full of every book you can imagine. Non fic fiction Children's etc. Found a book for a very reasonable price.

You don't see too many used books stores lately, but this place is a gem. Highly recommend it for any avid readers.

Great little used and new books...my new book shop to go t many great bargain buys from there too. We always buy a book or two each trip there ..

The best used bookstore in Rochester. Awesome selection, great staff. A must stop every time I’m in town.
