Jort PosselMarch 7, 2015Classic small bookstore with fantastic selection, where they still take the time to find what you are looking for, or wrap a book as a present. One of the best in NYC.

- Nicholas BeckDecember 17, 2012In Chelsea, 192 Books has hardwood floors and a small but brilliantly curated selection of fiction and nonfiction.
New books and classics, a store without any bad books.
- If you can't find a book worth reading here, you have no soul.
- Kate SilverOctober 23, 2009Attended a great reading, though didn't know you have to RSVP due to limited space. I was able to fit in on the ledge.
