New York City loves its independent bookstores. It

>Book Row may have passed away in the 80s</a
|
||
|
|
>, there are still many indie bookstores dotting the map, across all
|
||
|
|
five boroughs. Here, I have attempted to collect all of the
|
||
|
|
currently-open general-interest independent booksellers in NYC. Any
|
||
|
|
store with regular-ish hours (excluding religious booksellers and
|
||
|
|
appointment-only rare book sellers) is included.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
While Manhattan and Brooklyn still lead the pack, Queens has a
|
||
|
|
respectable number of stores, and all five boroughs are represented,
|
||
|
|
with the Bronx and Staten Island both hosting lone independent
|
||
|
|
stores. Lower Manhattan has the highest density of booksellers.

||

|
|
The listings here are kept up-to-date to the best of my ability;
|
||
|
|
however, I make no promises about either the accuracy or reliability
|
||
|
|
of the information. If you spot an error, or I've missed a shop,
