Hello Beautiful People,
There is a little gem in the West Village called Left Bank Books.
And I mean, GEM.
It’s tiny.
It’s cute.
And it’s probably the size of your NYC bathroom. But there’s oh so much charm, when I was there they were preparing for a showing of a movie that was filmed in the 60s in that very shop. Absolutely adorable. AND they specialize in literary first editions! Trust me when I say, it’s a bookworms paradise.
Here’s their website blurb:
Left Bank Books specializes in literary first editions (especially fiction, poetry, drama, and literary non-fiction), photography, art, music, and film, but we buy and sell quality used books of all kinds in all categories. Our inventory runs from first editions of literary highlights, many of which are signed, to an impressive number of fascinating works on a variety of subjects. And don’t be put off by the words “first editions” or “rare books”; our stock is not merely a collection of the expensive and eminent–we have quality books to suit all tastes and pocketbooks.
Our staff is knowledgeable and book-loving. Come in to buy, browse, or talk about books. We like what we do, and we’re there to help you find what you want.
The shop is located in one of the sweetest neighborhoods in New York City, soaked in a vibrant literary and artistic tradition. Stop by for a visit and take in our whole array of books, and then enjoy the other pleasures of the West Village, with all of its quality shops, brilliant restaurants, and leafy streets lined with the most handsome townhouses in the city.
