NYC Neighborhood Guide: Downtown Brooklyn and Boerum Hill
"Get lost in the stacks at this bookstore, five minutes from Ace Brooklyn. Fiction and non-fiction new and older, tons of cookbooks, hefty art books, travel guides, and an array of magazines, many indie and imported, fill the shelves here." - Sophie Friedman
Visited for independent bookstore day. Nice independent bookstore with a well orangized, bright interior. Pleasing collection of books to choose from, if a little too top heavy on the unusual side. Interesting stationary as well. Disappointingly not accessible: an upstairs section up a steep stairway with no alternatives.

All the McNally Jackson stores are delightful, and this one is particularly warm. The children’s section has a mini-castle that’s sure to delight young readers, and two floors of a large variety of books will keep an adult happily engaged. A must visit for bibliophiles!

Lots of great finds here! Titles were neatly organized by genre and the little books that the store owners created allows for slow browsing and light reading. Great book hunting experience! Don’t forget to check out the selection upstairs.

Love coming here, feels like another world away from the city. Large, open and has that new book smell.
Has an upstairs and is very clean and quiet as well.
Great choices for different genres.

This could easily be my favorite bookstore, but the fact that they maintain a section for Russian literature is deeply upsetting. After all these years of war, why does this country still deserve such representation? I didn’t see similar sections for other nations
