for all my fellow nyc residents the dtbk location has a discounted book section that oftentimes has a great selection these are just a handful of the many books I’ve found ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )
For new books:
McNally Jackson (kinda an obvious choice, always a really good selection, Soho & Williamsburg locations) Greenlight Bookstore (my local new books bookstore, where I go most often, Fort Greene BK) For used books:
Housing Works Bookstore (some great finds here, housing works is a nonprofit that fights AIDS and homelessness, they mostly have thrift stores but also this 1 used book shop!)
The Strand (another obvious one but I go here so often too tbh) Unnameable Books (many people have said this already but want to +1 it! my local shop!)
a lot of it is random stuff i’d never read but i came across some gems - got a slightly damaged but new copy of the serviceberry for $10 (gorgeous book!) and a copy of nightbitch that had a slightly torn corner and weird chicken stamp on the bottom (i wish i could read the words from the stamp but the ink just isn’t clear enough)
books
westsider books - ngl the vibes here are what makes it worth it (they have a cat 🫶)
or
pillowcase books - they also have a cat 🫢
or
sweet pickle books - replace the cat with pickles jewelry
chelsea flea or brooklyn flea- the one under dumbo
or
