Classic bookstore on the Upper West Side. Good selection of books in every category. I found what I was looking for. They have a small cafe in the second floor (left side). They are undergoing some constructions on the first floor but do not interfere the please of sitting on a chair and read one of their books in the quiet space of the second floor. The staff was friendly. Highly recommend!

An upper west side staple. Great selection of books and small gifts. Staff is always helpful and courteous. They have a small Starbucks cafe hidden on the second floor.

The store is closing January 14, 2024 so I went to buy books at a 50% discount. Not much left but still some good buys

Loved this place. A full of nostalgia. I came here almost after 12 years. Before Amazon it used to be go to place to buy books. I really loved that they’re still maintaining this place. I felt like the reflections of life before everything was accessible in internet.

Very quiet and spacious, it’s my first time visiting this store and it’s quite different compared to the one on 5th Avenue. There wasn’t really much help by the staff trying to find particular titles. Maria C was very pleasant, while she was finalizing my transaction.

Love this store. Outstanding service. I was chasing special editions and I got excellent assistance in contacting nearby stores to reserve the books I needed. Great accessories department as well. Enjoy!

This iconic bookstore is bright and well-stocked with books and periodicals in labeled shelves. There are a few comfortable chairs scattered among the bookcases. The restroom was clean. It is located on the 3rd floor near the very popular Cafe where you can buy refreshments.

Hadn't been there for a while and stopped by to check for a book. It changed a lot overall in regards to the layout. Other than that, nothing has really changed. Great staff as always and everything in pretty much in the same general area it was before. Going back soon to complete my Cassandra Clare collection.
