Books & Books was founded by Mitchell Kaplan in 1982. Since that time, the store has become one of the most well-respected independent bookstores in the country. It's a local landmark and an inspiring gathering place for writers as well as readers. The philosophy at Books & Books has remained constant throughout the years: it's about neighbors, books, history, quality, tradition and creativity. Books & Books hosts reading groups, poetry groups, free workshops and lectures, and partners with many cultural, educational and charitable organizations to present special events at any of its several locations.
Trivia is awesome, host is great, food and service are awesome

Kudos to management for staying open late until 11pm ! The ambiance is so fun and sophisticated. Love that there’s a mini bar and coffee shop. My new favorite place !
