<p>Although the bookselling community of New York City is much depleted from its heyday, there still are independent bookstores out there. Unfortunately, there has also been a lack of resources available to discover and visit the stores that do exist. This site, while not on the level of the old guides, can help with that.</p>
<p>While the data here are kept up-to-date to the best of my ability, I make no promises about the accuracy of locations or other details presented. If you spot an error, or I've missed a shop, please let me know by <a href="mailto:delta.mu.alpha@gmail.com">email</a> or <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alazyreader">twitter</a>.

<p>New York City loves its bookstores. We <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/15/nyregion/thecity/15book.html" target="_blank">eulogize those that have faded</a> and celebrate when new ventures are launched. And while the historic <a href="http://untappedcities.com/2015/08/26/4th-avenue-the-history-of-nycs-book-row/" target="_blank">Book Row may have passed away in the 80s</a>, there are still plenty of stores dotting the map. Here, I have attempted to map out all of the currently-open general-interest independent booksellers in the city. Any store with regular-ish hours (no appointment-only rare book sellers) is included, as far as I've been able to determine.</p>
<p>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.
