The size of the nearby Stand’s Rare Book Room, but with two important advantages. First, it is open every day ’til 10:00pm. And second, all are free to use the shelf ladder.
Heather LiSeptember 17, 2013Very cozy bookstore with super friendly employees! You need to spend $15+ to use your card but I managed to find a book here that I couldn't at Strand. Highly recommended!
Myra WangJune 18, 2018Nice bookstore, not very big but has everything, the guy knows his book, has many valuable collectible editions. Nice music selection too.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Kimmie OhhJune 30, 2020The books outside of the store are super cheap! There are rare finds in this bookstore.
The coziest, most delightfully magical book shop, where I happened upon an original edition of "Here Is New York"
Sarah WatsonDecember 7, 2019A miraculous vortex that reads your mind and has a the exact obscure out of print book waiting for you.
Jenn WongApril 13, 2014Decided to try selling a few used books here to add to the small bookshop collection vs the Strand around the corner. The guy working here was rude throughout the exchange. Ew.
