This was my first experience with this bookstore. It is around my community, which is a plus. Since the Pandemic started, you arent allowed in the store but they let you order online and pick up. The last couple of weeks you can go online and or look at their windows and buy that way.

I grew up in washington heights and I would love to know what year this place opened? I would pass it a lot and never think to go inside. It's a good quality book store. There's a small section of manga. I love that my community has access to books!

★★★★★ Rosa, Oct 2023

This bookstore is the secret heart of Washington Heights. Great service, and selection, and mood. Really cute too, and hosts wonderful events. Buy you books here, not from Amazon! I have seen such beautiful acts of kindness in this bookstore, it gives me hope for the human race.
