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.

New York City loves its bookstores. We eulogize those that have faded and celebrate when new ventures are launched. And while the historic Book Row may have passed away in the 80s, 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.
