    This review is strictly on the service prior to picking up the book that is being held for me…read more I called in to see if they had a specific book. They found it quickly and reserved it for me as my mom who lives quite far away will have to pick it up. I didn't feel rushed off the phone even when I spoke in Konglish. The value of the book was FAR MORE than responsible for it being Korean and not the translated version. I haven't been in the store physically, but can't wait to when I visit parents again.

    Location is a bit odd. It's on a block I haven't seen many people walk on. So it's not crowded at…read moreall. When I went in I was the only customer there. They have a very small selection of K-pop albums. Unfortunately most of them didn't have price tags already attached to them so I had to ask the cashier to ring it up for me. I only saw two albums w/ tags. I wished they added them so I don't have to constantly ask for it / bother the cashier. I went here bc I saw reviews that this place was pretty cheap compared to other K-pop related stores. However the album I got was $28.94. And after tax - $31.51 Which is almost narrowly the same price as my usual K-pop store I frequent. But I bought it anyways. I also rang up aespa's jewel case & it came up to around $27. So I ended up buying only one album. When I opened it, the spine on the bottom of the photo book was a lil fucked up. And I noticed two - ish pages a bit teeny tiny detached. I am quite nit picky abt things like this so I was bit disappointed. However, i did clumsily drop the album after purchasing it and banged it slightly while it was in my bag. I think there was supposed to be a poster that came with the album but I never got it There was also a shelf I almost missed that was in front of the cashier on the side. In the back they have a bunch of books all in Korean. Btw hours are 10AM - 6PM Monday through Friday Closes pretty early imo They are also closed on the weekend and holidays unfortunately I came on a weekend not knowing they were closed so just a heads up ! Bc the hours on Apple maps is wrong

    It seemed strange that a place would be called Austin book shop and located on Jamaica Ave, but…read morethen I read it used to be located on Austin Street in Kew Gardens. My first question was what I ask all used bookstores -- did they had a philosophy section, but "very little or no humanities", according to Ray Harley, the owner. "What we do have is Baseball and American history." Both of which they have in abundance. He wasn't kidding. Shelves and shelves of books on the sport -- I mean, if you're into all things baseball, this is a literary treasure trove). In addition to American history. I also found a decent section on Jewish and U.S. Catholic history as well. The store itself was a study in chaos; apparently they were unearthing a lot of material from the cellar, so boxes and boxes everywhere which required some nimble navigation of the stacks. But what was shelved themselves was fairly organized. It's definitely a good place for browsing. Pricing: specializing in old, rare and out-of-print, most books on the shelf that I found were in the $20-25 range. There are a everal $1 carts out front where I found some pleasant surprises. Takeaways (nice haul): - The Mission: A Film Journal by Daniel Berrigan, S.J. -- regarding the making of one of my favorite movies. From the dollar carts: - - America's Lighthouses, An Illustrated History - Diary of a Dead Man 1862-1864 (Ira Pettit, Union Private) - When the Cheering Stopped, The Last Years of Woodrow Wilson, by Gene Smith - "Talk to the Hand" a DOONESBURY compilation I'll definitely be back. Odd hours as it's only open weekends. Tip for those contemplating going: the owner advised to call ahead to inquire about hours, "because I'll never know when I'll be babysitting."

    Good bookstore. Full of good books. Highly recommend that you drop by to buy some cool and good old…read morebooks.

    Great bookstore with tons of books, toys, and tons of merchandise from Japan…read more Stopped by since my kid is a huge anime fan. We were exhausted from walking all day but suddenly he found a burst of energy and was fine browsing the store for over an hour. There are two floors with a cafe on the 2nd floor. Overall, there is a really big selection and there were lots of people shopping while we were there. Service was good; the registers are located downstairs and they have lots of cute items + point of purchase displays. I was overstimulated by the time we reached the register but that may just have been because it had been a long day.

    I seriously need to stop coming here but I just can't. I love a good bookstore, and this one has…read morealways been special to me. Located right across from Bryant Park, it's almost impossible to walk by without going in. It's usually crowded, but that's part of its charm. The store has three levels, each worth exploring. The main floor features an impressive selection of books, including bestsellers and new releases right as you walk in. The lower level is where you'll find collectibles, specialty pens, beautiful notebooks and stationery, unique gifts, even more books, and plenty of cute items that will tempt you to spend more than you planned. The book selection is excellent, although I have to admit the prices can be a bit on the higher side. The staff are always friendly, and checkout is surprisingly quick, so don't let the long lines discourage you. One thing to note: drinks aren't allowed inside, so you'll need to leave them with security before entering. If you're visiting the area or spending time around Bryant Park, I highly recommend stopping by. Whether you're a book lover or just enjoy browsing, this bookstore is absolutely worth a visit.
