Small but impeccably-curated selection of Modernist, post-modern, occult, and art books, as well as records. Lots of first editions, very cool vibe. Clerk was very friendly. Definitely a spot for bibliophiles and book collectors into the weirder stuff.

the best selection of any bookstore I have seen here. Super niche and aligned with my taste in surrealism,occult and the reason I didn’t get anything is cuz I already had most of these books! Impeccable vibe too with the Palo santo smell and the music playing

One of my favorite go-tos in NYC. Skip the Strand and head here for an amazingly curated selection and soundtrack. Bookseller’s bookstore.
