Great selection of books. A lot of emphasis on local too; whether it's authors, history, or adventures to be had.

Went in looking for a particular book (which the employees happily helped me find) and then was given an amazing recommendation by the cashier which I also purchased. Always a great experience

This place is a small bookstore it has a place where you can sit and read a book Stanley is very friendly Stanley is one of the people that work there he greets me by my name whenever I go in there they have a variety of books to choose from they also have adult coloring books

Have been going here for years. Stanley and the other booksellers always have excellent recommendations when I am looking for gifts. They are unfailingly cheerful and helpful, happy to special order things or help me find things, and they know their books!

I stared at the flatiron building in disbelief. How could a full service, independent book store be standing in downtown Troy? I had been panhandled the moment I stepped off the bus, and yet Market Block Books sells bestsellers and books off the back list one block over from the panhandling district. I even see broadsides on the walls, signed by the author. That has always been a sign of a bookstore with regard for literature because Shaman Drum in Ann Arbor and City Lights Books in San Fransisco and Literati in Ann Arbor display broadsides proudly. So does the bookstore at Kenyon College and the little bookstore by St Louis King of France Cathedral in New Orleans. I have sat in the comfort of this house of literature, just enjoying the Shop Small Saturday fun, just writing without anybody giving me the stink eye.
