<p>New York City loves its independent bookstores. It <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/15/nyregion/thecity/15book.html" target="_blank">eulogizes those that have faded</a> and celebrates 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 many indie bookstores dotting the map. 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>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, please let me know by <a href="mailto:delta.mu.alpha@gmail.com" target="_blank">email</a> or <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alazyreader" target="_blank">twitter</a>.
