History

Writers & Books began its literary life as The Book Bus in 1974, a mobile bookstore and book distributor traveling throughout the northeastern United States, bringing small-press books to new audiences. In 1980 The Book Bus ceased its travels, and Writers & Books began operations as a literary center working out of a storefront space in a commercial/residential neighborhood in Rochester. In January 1985, Writers & Books moved from its original storefront location into a landmark building, a former precinct station designed by Rochester illustrator and architect Claude Bragdon.
