Alabaster Bookshop

The size of the nearby Stand’s Rare Book Room, but with two important advantages. First, it is open every day ’til 10:00pm. And second, all are free to use the shelf ladder.

Very cozy bookstore with super friendly employees! You need to spend $15+ to use your card but I managed to find a book here that I couldn't at Strand. Highly recommended!

Nice bookstore , not very big but has everything, the guy knows his book , has many valuable collectible editions . Nice music selection too.

The books outside of the store are super cheap ! There are rare finds in this bookstore .

The coziest, most delightfully magical book shop, where I happened upon an original edition of "Here Is New York"

Around the corner from the strand cathedral , Achapel of great used art books .

A miraculous vortex that reads your mind and has a the exact obscure out of print book waiting for you.

endearingly stuffed with a knowledgeable staff to sort through the stacks for you

Decided to try selling a few used books here to add to the small bookshop collection vs the Strand around the corner. The guy working here was rude throughout the exchange. Ew.

Very nice staff and amazing atmosphere!

Beautiful collection & each book on the shelves outside is $2.

Hidden gem jampacked with great books , around the corner from the strand

Super nice employees, good selection of used and rare books , love this place.

For when the Strand still feels too "new" for your liking.

The Strand has quantity, Alabaster has quality.

Great racks of sale books outside--around the corner from the strand, check it out!

great selection

no sorting whatsoever, but some surprising finds - in short , don't go in looking for anything in particular.
