Laurie SeaAugust 25, 2013Finally, an independent bookstore back in Queens! Great selection of fiction and new releases for literate adults (and yes, ample kids' books, too).
So grateful to have this store in Astoria, it's the local bookstore of my dreams. Great recommendations hidden on pieces of paper throughout the store and they host events for adults and kids alike!
EdwinSeptember 5, 2013A nice addition to the neighborhood, with some programming coming already and a small, but nice, collection of books to pick up. Great collection of mo willems children's books!
Sam HirschAugust 22, 2013Welcome them to the neighborhood!!! This place is already a gem! Would love to see a "local" area, and I'm excited for the events they have planned! Wish it was a spot to work- more of a quick stop.
EmmaApril 29, 2014Small but awesome selection! The perfect, cute little bookstore. Check out their greeting card selection as well.
JeanDecember 24, 2013This place is AMAZING! They have a great selection for a small, independent book store, and the staff is wonderful. I highly recommend Astoria Bookshop.
Octavio MarinDecember 29, 2015An interesting / diverse selection of books and great service. Astoria bookshop is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood!
Naomi TolsonSeptember 11, 2016Nice clean and cozy bookstore. Ordered a few books for gifts and and the staff were super helpful.
Make sure to ask for staff favorites. Best way to get interested in new authors. Also, they support local writers!
Colleen LindsayDecember 7, 2013Ask Lexi (the owner) for new book suggestions. She hasn't steered me wrong yet!
AMACOM BooksFebruary 10, 2014Be sure to ask about their reader rewards program (it doesn't involve yet another card to stick on your keyring)!
Josh H.August 30, 2013Really cute place. Definitely want to support it. Staff is knowledgeable and sweet.
Lloyd GSeptember 7, 2013Small, but awesome selection. If you need anything, just ask, they're super friendly!
Note that they’ve moved a few blocks away. They’re now at 3619 30th Street.
Trever PolakAugust 9, 2014Nice small store. It's under the elevated railroad, so every so often it gets rumbly and loud.
Join the book club. Get money off. Great local books (Queens, NYC).
