A diverse selection of books and magazines. I always stop here when I'm in town with an obnoxious wishlist of obscure titles. St Marks Bookshop always had my fix. Just wish they were open 24/7.

I miss the East Village so much just because of this store. It has a wonderful selection of books and a very helpful staff. Lots of self-published work. It's a little pricey though.
