Dove & Hudson is one of Albany's most loved bookstores. On the shelves visitors will find used books in great condition, from perfect to gently used ones that cover nearly every subject. The staff is always helpful and the prices are eminently reasonable. Another couple of reasons why people love Dove & Hudson is that the store is very organized, the lighting perfect and the owners are always giving discounts and coupons.
Earthworld
Earthworld specializes in the art of comic strips, books, design and everything else beautifully illustrated on old-fashioned paper. From popular characters like Spider-Man and Hulk to lesser-known ones like Black Dynamite and Miracle Man, Earthworld has books with their latest exploits as well as a large selection of back issues. Unlike many comic book shops, this one does not have a tremendous amount of other toys, figurines, role-playing cards, etc., yet it does have everything you need if you're looking for that specific comic.
