Great funky general bookstore with a mix of new and old titles, lots of really good children's books, a good selection of cookbooks, and poetry. As a part of Seminary Co-op, 57th St is now a non-profit. Great staff. Support small, local bookstores.

What a gem of a books store, I was thrilled to see so many great books on display with tons of representation and they have an extensive sci fi/fantasy section!

This is the ideal bookstore of my heart and one of my favorite places in not only Hyde Park, but the entire city. Wonderfully laid out, wonderfully helpful staff, and an iconic entrance.
