Ulysses Books

An exceptional bookshop. What it lacks in size it more than makes up in quality. An eclectic selection filled with titles you’ve always wanted to read, sprinkled with titles you didn’t know you needed until you walked in. And the store greeter, Duke, will make you feel so welcome you may not want to leave.

A ‘must see’ if you’re in the Finger Lakes region.

This is a fantastic bookstore with some lovely older and rare finds! The owner was exceptionally kind and very welcoming. Would definitely recommend a stop if you’re staying in Trumansburg or passing through the Finger Lakes!

Mike’s research led him to reach out to us because he found a book that is connected to our house’s history. We are so glad he found us! He was very easy to work with and we are excited to visit his store in-person someday, too.

Great experience! Received my beautiful book by mail, well packaged and as described. Fairly priced leather bound book written by my great great great grandfather JG Holland. I’m very excited to add it to my collection. I wish I lived closer so I could visit Michael’s bookstore in person.

Truly a gem of a store. Best used bookstore within 60 miles of Watkins Glen. One of the nicest owners I have met. Already looking forward to my next visit. To understand, you must visit yourself!

This bookstore is an absolute gem! The collection here is organized, the store is well-lit and very clean, and the owner was welcoming and happy to chat about his selections. Completely worth the drive for any book lover in the area!

What a wonderful bookstore! We browsed through the racks full of an incredible variety of subjects and titles, organized with many delightful surprises. The Bookseller is welcoming and informative and excited to “talk books”.

The owner does a great job of curating the books, and is kind and knowledgeable.

This is truly a hidden green if a bookstore! Bonus is that Michael and Chris (the owner s) are so well read and great conversationalists.

Great selection of books! The owner was very nice also. I highly recommend.

Enjoyed our time there chatting with the owner and finding some gems.
