While they won't have every book under the sun, they have a lot. I'd say I find the particular book that I went in looking for 85% of the time. They also take donations! I always see folks carting in large bags of books, ready for their next life. The staff are always so helpful, the space is cozy and exactly what you'd want your neighborhood bookstore to feel like. Check it out!

This book store was located by the entrance of the Vertical Campus before you swiped the turnstiles to go into the building. I cannot believe this store is closed down permanently. It just sucks because now I cannot even get to go inside to try out their clothing. I gained a lot of weight after college and cannot fit into a small and the online store said no exchanges of returns in clothing. So I'm not exactly sure what size to select for all their clothing. I remember back in college, I had to line up to buy textbooks. The line would go all the way outside of the store. They had both used and new textbooks. Apart from textbooks and clothing, they got calculators and stationary items for sale.

I almost skipped this shop because I thought, "what could a small shop specializing in photography…read morebooks have for me?" Glad I stopped in! It's actually the only "book" store out of several I visited this weekend in which I bought something! It is small, but not the smallest shop I've been in. Larger than a place like Casa Magazines (which I also love). It is mostly photography books, both new and used. Some "zines," not to be confused with magazines. A few books as well. I stay in hotels about 240 nights a year for business, so I bought a cool, unconventional book about hotels, with a beautiful fabric cover, with lots of colors, remarking on the weird and beautiful interactions you have or overhear in that environment. They had urban photography, more sexual stuff (like really sexual stuff), music and pop culture, and more niche genres. A little something for everyone. And the owner was super nice! Others have commented on how they have great conversations with her about the volumes they carry. She is really knowledgeable and helpful. Seems to know about everything they have! Prices aren't "cheap," but reasonable for the product you're purchasing. They also have a nearby gallery space, and that's worthwhile to checkout. I passed by the next day on the way to something else, and someone was outside with a volume they just purchased, having the owner take a photo of them with their new, proud acquisition. You can tell this spot is part of the community. Glad I didn't pass it up.

What's not to like about a bookstore with a great collection of photography books, friendly…read morepersonnel and fair prices? Nothing really. David (the owner) and Miwa are knowledgeable about the artists whose books they feature, and are only too happy to offer personalized recommendations. David was formerly at Magnum Photos and brings a wealth of contacts and a thorough understanding of the photo book market. And Miwa is also well-versed in the subject, especially on Japanese photographers of the documentary / Provoke movement. Dashwood is also a book publisher and attracts some high-caliber artists. Photo books are quite expensive but Dashwood is great with stocking up on signed copies of new books that are a bit more affordable if you are a collector and care to follow what is being published. That reminds me, I am due for my next visit.

McNally Jackson's new flagship store is part of Rockefeller Center's renaissance (30 Rockaissance?…read moreToo much?) and adds to the retail dearth of Midtown/Midtown West. As much as I love Kinokuniya Books at Bryant Park -- the more, the merrier for this bibliophile. This location captures the spirit of the Nolita store, but is expansive enough to accommodate tourists who don't make it downtown. The bookstore is well-organized and well-curated. I was pleasantly surprised by how expansive their fiction, non-fiction and economic theory selections were. I'll definitely be back soon -- I can see this area becoming part of my weekend routine, with a few books picked up at McNally Jackson, followed by a glass at Lodi's.
