What I wrote thereFold it away

Westsider Rare & Used Books is one of the smallest bookstores in New York City. Every inch of the interior is filled with books. As hard as it is to believe, there’s even an upstairs section where you can find vintage records, too. Say hello to the cat that roams the store. And while there’s no guarantee that the title you’re after will be in stock, the hunt only adds to the charm.
