Not only are books magic but "Book are Magic" is magic, as are the coven curating the creative compositions there. You can tell a lot about a person by browsing the shelves in someone's home - what's on display and what's been repeatedly used and lent and dog-eared for reference. But I was keanly aware that the books there are carefully considered recommendations for the benefit of the person walking through the door. There are the big hits with substance, and they sit alongside the books of big impact with a smaller distribution. The range is impressive - rather than 90 copies of this seasons "Eat Pray Love" they'll have 2 copies and a dozen + titles speaking to a broad range. They have recommendation cards a plenty so you know they know the library. You can tell books are a personal love language here. As a middle-aged/Autistic/Aboriginal/Jewish/Australian I felt uncommonly welcome here. I may have helped that the music was in one of the many playlists I've had over the years, like a sound track across the epocs of my history. I bought two books - Katherine May's "Enchantment" I bought in virtual version for a book club, ) and a unlike me a manga that made me take it like the face of a puppy looking up at me from an animal shelter, after I flipped a few pages. The staff are attentive and happy to facilitate as if you are a house guest rather than a target for financial transaction. Loved Books are Magic. Well worth a 23 hour flight.

Well laid-out bookstore with a great selection for both kids and adults. The staff picks and write-ups make it even easier to find a book that you’ll like, and they have a huge variety of books that have been signed by the authors which is a nice touch.

GORGEOUS indie bookstore! Independently owned by an author herself and full of charm and personality. The book talks (the sheets of paper describing staff’s favorite books) are what makes this place stand out. It feels like having a conversation with tons of passionate readers. Everything is cute and welcoming and I literally spent over an hour in there losing track of time. They have cards, puzzles, LGBTQ books, feminist literature, mystery, and so much more! You gotta check it out for sure :) a highlight of my NY trip!

If you like books this store is like being a kid in a candy store. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The choices are phenomenal. They have choices for all ages and for all kinds of interests as well as reference material also. I opened an account to accumulate points and I'll absolutely be going back. It was a busy fun shop to spend an hour at.

I loved the layout and selections at this store. Although the philosophy section was small, I was impressed with the books they had compared to the usual rotation of stoics found at other bookstores. I enjoyed the blurbs written by the staffers as well as the merch! I definitely would love to come back.
