My favorite bookstore on the Upper West Side. Great, carefully curated fiction, nonfiction, history, philosophy & other specialist sections. Friendly and knowledgeable booksellers.
Hanna ParkDecember 3, 2014The perfect place to buy gifts for everyone and anyone. They obviously have a wonderfully curated selection of books, but they have fun knick knacks as well!
Excellent book store on the UWS, could spend hours here browsing their great selection! They also have surprise book suggestions (wrapped in brown paper) and a good lineup of programs with authors.
A worthwhile part fixture of the Upper West Side independent book scene.

Matthew SpectorAugust 16, 2015A solid community space and book nerd haven, a relatively new opening on the Upper West. Good for gifts, too.
Jenny KDecember 25, 2014Yay for Book Culture on UWS! Tons of great books and tchotchkes for sale here. And, public restroom in the back.
Ellen RiellyNovember 27, 2015Cute bookstore that also sells the usual knick knacks, candles, etc. prices are a little inflated but hopefully the museum tourists keep them in business

Richard BlakeleyJanuary 6, 2016Buyer beware: All refunds are only for store credit — something they purposely go to great lengths to not mention or display.
