A cozy respite amidst the nightlife of AdMo. The display window invited me in around 8p on a Wednesday evening after leaving a comedy show. It felt restful being there. The wood floors and packed shelves were warm. The shop person was nice even when I asked her to see a book in the window and she had to crawl through display jungles to get it. Then I confused East City Books with this shop. All in all, a cool visit. Go read a book.
I wanted to share a concern following a recent visit to your store. I value independent bookstores and usually seek them out because they tend to promote curiosity, learning, and thoughtful engagement with complex ideas. That’s why I was disappointed to see that the children’s and youth section related to Israel and Palestine appeared to present only a single narrative, without historical context or acknowledgement of multiple perspectives. In particular, the absence of material addressing Jewish history, the Holocaust, Israel’s formation, or the ongoing struggles and security concerns of Israelis stood out to me. When such a complex and emotionally charged subject is introduced to young readers without balance, it risks shaping understanding through omission rather than education. My concern is not that one perspective is included—but that others are excluded. Especially for children, responsible curation should encourage critical thinking, empathy, and historical awareness, not a simplified or one-sided framing of a deeply complex conflict. I raised this briefly in the store, but felt the concern was dismissed. I hope you’ll consider this feedback in the spirit it’s offered: a request for greater balance, context, and intellectual integrity—particularly when it comes to material aimed at young minds. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Not only is this a fantastic bookstore with a nice selection of crossword puzzle books, among many other of my fave subjects, but it also has incredibly kind staff. I got a flat tire while biking around Adams Morgan while visiting from out of town, lucky to have it happen across the street from Lost City, and figured if anyone knows the town it would be a bookstore clerk, and sure enough one took time to look up 2 places nearby where I might get my tire repaired right away. I loved this store before that, and made a point to stop in for a fun browse whenever I was in AdMo, but now it's on my "fan for life" list. Thanks, Lost City, for being an oasis of kindness and intelligence in an often unkind world. p.s. the women-run Upshift Workshop and Ace Hardware are the bike repair spots nearby if you're lucky enough to get a flat across the street from Lost City :)
Such a cool bookstore. Lots of staff recommendations. Art books. Photography books. Science fiction section is amazing as well. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
