Everything about this bookstore is great , it's a beautifully curated little shop and the staff is really helpful. I can always find something good to walk out with.

Fantastic neighborhood bookstore with a great selection of new/recommended books to grab off a table. Haven’t been steered wrong yet. Also cool author events in the basement (with wine !).

Gothamist praises its "bevy of book clubs and writing groups, wonderfully homey readings (usually with donuts from the nearby Peter Pan Bakery ), and "Between the Covers" Book Matchmaking service." Read more

Fabulous Indie...best in NYC; great romance selection, though I might be biased, as I helped curate it!

Cosy little local store, wonderful selection of books , including a shelf dedicated to Small Press. Respect.

Very well curated shop, but the tiny space has a tendency to get a bit crowded .

Lovely bookstore . Love to spend time browsing books in here. And the staff is amazing.

Forget Zog. In the summertime, Word runs an awesome literary-themed basketball league with dirt-cheap entry fee.

This place doesn't accept $100 bills, which may be illegal and is a total nuisance if you're a boss gangsta. #cashisking #paperisdeadhere
