Janifer has often ordered my novel for you to get it directly from Sisters Uptown Books. BECAUSE she was willing to dedicate the store to some of our writer requests to have a place i n HARLEM to find radical novels! THIS is the novel I wrote, she many times has carried. To Face It By Lupe Family. That way your money stays in the community! Below I am talking about the character in the book Pam. Why? Because I made a video Pat! A Revolutionary Black Molecule and it is Pam from my novle who is based on that real life women of blackness: Pat. AUTHOR: Lupe Family suggests you say i will order from you Janifer. The trailer for my novel with the PAM real life person is at Lupe Tofaceit on youtube. Pat! A Revolutionary Black Molecule. * AND Here is a podcast I do with Dr. Robyn C. Spencer, black historian and writer. In the interview we discuss Pat Robinson , who my character Pam, takes after! WOW

I just ordered a book from Sister's for a friend in NYC because I wanted to support a bookseller local to her. The service at Sister's is wonderful. I've had a couple of phone calls with the shop, and everyone has been really friendly and responsive. Someone even offered to walk the book over to my friend to save on shipping. I wish I lived in NYC so that I could visit the shop in person. I will continue to order from them online.

Such an eclectic store! There's books, soaps/shirts/bags/jewelry/etc made by local artists, and events as well. There's also a section for discount books. I came here to find a gift for an artist friend and found the perfect book for his opening night. I looked online out of curiosity and the book is NOT easy to come by. I definitely plan on coming here again. I was given a tour upon walking in and was warmly welcomed.

Great independent bookstore, Black woman owned. The only Black owned bookstore in Manhattan I believe. The owner is very kind and has a great selection of books! I love coming in here.

Ms. Jennifer is a deep and passionate woman who runs this bookstore like a staff of 4 people. It was my pleasure to talk with her about Harlem and the Sisters Uptown Bookstore.

My humble sweet local black-owned bookstore. Run by the sweetest lady doing what she can for the community. It's not as big as my west coast favorite, Eso Won Books, but it's perfect. I find the collection to be good and they can order what they don't have in stock. I'm a big fan. There's a cute coffee bar with snacks re-opening soon.

They carry a lot of older books by BIPOC authors. It would be nice if they had more of a variety between new & older books.
