Wonderful, idiosyncratic selection of books . Particularly great with philosophy, art books , and literature in translation. Great place to browse and come away with something unexpectedly delightful.

One of my favorite bookstores in the five boroughs! Has an eclectic collection to choose from, but I really appreciate their selection of modern American literature.

"The selection is immaculate and well thought-out and the way the store is laid out makes it a real haven for smartypants, eccentrics , perverts, and regulars." - Dapwell, ⅓ of Chillin Island Read more

Great curation of books and magazines from fiction , to art , to spirituality. I always find something I want to read here. And if you're lucky, you'll spot a black cat.

Smart, cute bookshop . They have discounted books outside of the store!

Great selection of new and used books , mainly in humanities and arts . Nice selection of design and art magazines too.

A bit too cool for school, and hardly the best bookstore in Brooklyn, but they have an interesting, non-comprehensive, quirky stock of books .

Margot Mazur

All the art books you could want, and some obscure finds as well . Skip a weekend trip--the place gets packed.

I love seeing indie designers represented here in stationery form- they stock a great collection of cards from companies like Pancakes & Franks, Yellow Owl Workshop and Rifle Paper Co.

Zachary Martz

Neighborhood staple. Buys used books and has a great magazine selection.

Nice stock of design books and unique finds, in general. And S&S supports local designers and artists . Great book shop.

Great design, poetry, Japanese art , and other interesting random books !

An awesome bookstore in the heart of Bedford. Jonas is the owner, and he will buy back your old books .
