Black-owned bookshops and Rochester-area Black authors selling their own titles. The category is small and personal: a reading room you can visit, authors who sell direct online, and sellers focused on titles by Black writers. Each listing tells you where to browse in person and where to order.
Small shop inventories turn over, so if you’re hunting for a specific title, contact the seller to confirm its in stock or can be ordered. Ask about author events and signed copies while you have them on the phone. For gift shopping, ask what they would recommend for the reader on your list; sellers here know their shelves well.
