Great selection, especially in fiction. Has lots of the popular books (eg Taylor Jenkins, Ariadne) along with ones I've never seen that look just as good.

I've almost been hesitant to write a review because I feel like I'd be letting the world in on my own secret paradise, but the vast majority of comments here speak for themselves. This is far and away the best (non-used) bookstore in DC. The owner/book purchaser has INCREDIBLE taste and its inventory is brimming with an array of literary, poetic, and philosophical achievements that I've ever encountered on one bookstore's shelves. So far as I can tell, its selection in everything else is equally superlativeSome purchases that I've never found elsewhere in one place include: Robert Musil's The Man Without Qualities, Walter Benjamin's Arcades Projects, Vico's Nuova Scienza, JFK and the Unspeakable by Jim Douglass, The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton by Jefferson Morley, and Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit if you're looking for a cure for insomnia.Sure, the stuff is pricey, but treasures are innately valuable. Dodge the NPR stans at P&P and support a store that manufactures intellect and taste.

Very much enjoyed this little bookstore. Has a good selection especially of international fiction ( I’ve found it hard to find Borges at major bookstores for whatever reason)

This is a gem! A little bookstore with a great selection of books, very diverse and nicely presented in the store. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I also like the low-priced offers outside the store. Great opening hours.

The books on sale are fine sometimes, but the overall content of the bookstore does not change for months (but the books are good)

Extremely knowledgeable and passionate staff with a good selection of readings. Quoting their own words: “We have the best poetry selection in the United States of F*****g America.” Perhaps not untrue.
