Cozy east village classic, great selection

by idab

The store has been renovated since the lats review. My high school education was culled from the sales section at this bookstore, where you can still find contemporary and ancient classics in good condition for $2 a pop. The renovated store maintains the cozy, hap hazard, but well stocked feel it had years ago. Also of note is the small treasure trove of east village literary and musical paraphernalia from the 70s. It might not be worth a long track, but if you are in the neighborhood, definitely stop by.

• Pros: mellow atmosphere, good selection
• Cons: somewhat disorganized and cramped

Pretentious Jerk

by kaffeine666

Decent selection of books crammed into a dismal room the size of my bathroom. What made my visit even more unpleasant was very poor attitude of the proprietor.
