    Classic and ageless, this store is just large enough to get lost in. I love the titles and genres posted in large letters, and not just the average genres. I was able to find some non-standard reads at a great price!

    I think calling this the most beautiful bookstore in NYC is a stretch. You have so many. That French bookstore with the deep blue and gold ceiling. The Strand with their thousands of miles of books. Housing works with their mission to donate all profits to those in need. Mercer Street Books with their quirky hipster owner, leftover from the punk era of the LES and the village. But I can't give them less than five stars because they are a nice, large, clean store with a decent selection. They had a lot of small but mighty niche books, with a price of 20 bucks or more for a tiny volume. I picked up a few very cool birthday and greeting cards I've never found anywhere else. Staff was helpful, large inventory, a little pricey, but it was approaching midtown Manhattan and that's expected. And it is a lovely store. Cloud wallpaper, high ceilings, attractive displays. Maybe not the most beautiful, but worth a browse for sure.

    Such a cute bookstore. So glad i could finally stop in. Saw a room in the back that looks like a great place for readings and small fireside chats. I have to check to see if they have a calendar. Would totally come back for a special event (and to buy that coffee table book on sneakers)

    Such a beautiful bookstore with thousands and thousands of books displayed in the shelves. Very clean, none of the books have any dust. Each genre/section is clearly marked. Aside from books they have some stationary goods, puzzles, games and NYC souvenirs. Very friendly staff at the counter, willing to help out with any questions.

    A large elegant and gorgeous bookstore. I was really impressed with their selection of books. I just came here on a whim because I had an appointment in the area. It truly was a fantastic find for me. This type of book store is a rare find. I wanted to just to spend time in here browsing all of their books but unfortunately I couldn't. I personally love holding a real book when I read. This will definitely be my go to when I am in the area again. It's so much nicer than just ordering books online. Here I can actually flip pages, plus find books that I didn't know I wanted to read.

    Rizzoli is back in NYC again! This store is filled with new fiction, tabletop photo books and lots of postcards to send home on your next NYC visit. I love this place, wish they had book readings. Maybe they will in the future.Check it out, great for gifts.

    I love this bookstore. The vibes are immaculate and it's so cozy and calming. It is fancy for a bookstore and feels like a little oasis from the busy streets. They have a curated collection of books and cards. It's the type of bookstore you spend time just wandering around in a relaxing way. I've gotten great New Yorker cards from here and also have gotten gifts for people here. They have thick deep green wrapping paper for gifts and put the gold Rizzoli sticker on it which shows up nice!

    Such a cute store set in the heart of the theater district. Downstairs has lots of anime. Upstairs…read morefiction and non-fiction. I love that it's a store where you can sell and purchase. I feel the prices were very reasonable, even though I saw some comments about people saying the books are overpriced. No one bothered us when we spent quite a while looking through the various shelves and it felt like a very calm environment in a busy city. Left with a few books so the trip was a hit.

I brought in three statue items unopened in the original packaging. I checked on ebay for what the items sold for (not asking price but sold price) and it added up to about $600, I lugged the items over there and had to leave them there because they wouldn't get to them right away. The people/kids working there were very nice. I went to have lunch and got the text to return, and they are offering $150. So I picked up the items and turned down the offer. Again, they were very nice, it's just I wasn't willing to accept 25% of the value. I figured at worst it would be 50%. But I am better off getting closer to the actual price on ebay. Now, Buying. Lots of very expensive and exiting things to get, and I didn't have time to price check things so much, but my son is into the Nintendo switch and i spotted a used Marvel VS Capcom game he might like. It was $34.95. But just in case, I pulled up Amazon and looked the game up. A brand new one costs $21.79. So it would have been a terrible idea for me to buy it there. I guess if you are leaving work and need a quick gift, you might stop in and pay too much for an item. If you are in real trouble and don't have time to wait for an Ebay sale, you might consider selling your collectables for 25% the value, this place might come in handy.

It's not a big store size wise but they do pack a lot of punch. Service is kind and friendly, often times they can get busy due to the demand but they manage.

I walked into a store that is essentially one large room, and the density of product on display meant navigating it during a busy period required some patience, but the selection within that compact space was broader than the size suggested. The Korean literature section covers both Korean language and English language editions across a range of genres, which makes it genuinely useful for anyone studying the language or looking for titles that are difficult to find at general bookstores in the city. I saw children's books in Korean, well stocked. The K pop side of the store covers albums, photocards, posters, keychains, stickers, and merchandise across a wide range of artists, with BTS having a particularly strong presence historically alongside newer groups. Pricing runs higher than what I would pay ordering online or finding the same items at a larger retailer, which is the standard trade off for a specialty shop in Manhattan. Album prices in particular can be steep, though sale events bring them down to more competitive territory. Individual accessory items like stickers and bookmarks are priced at a premium relative to their size, so going in with a sense of what I am willing to spend helps avoid sticker shock at the register. The store is a reliable stop for anyone looking for Korean books or K pop merchandise in a physical retail setting in New York, with the caveat that the pricing and the crowd level are both factors worth knowing about before I go.

    On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.
