What I wrote thereFold it away

Founded in 1978, The Corner Bookstore has been satisfying the literary needs of New Yorkers for three generations. The name of the game for this independent New York City bookstore is tiny but mighty.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming the size is any indication of a limited selection, it’s surprisingly easy to find a quality read! It’s evident the staff takes great pride in their thoughtful recommendations of new titles to share with customers.

I also feel compelled to mention the impressive children’s section, which seems almost disproportionately large. You’re bound to find classics and relevant new children’s books that touch on current goings-on (political or otherwise).
