Staff is friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. From the outside it seems like one small building but it's…read moresurprising how far the building goes once you're inside. I couldn't say the same for their parking lot though, it's not very big. They buy and sell used books and this place has A LOT: books (they also have rare/signed books on the floor and behind the regster), vinyls, and pictures. The front of the store has a more organized setup that label the shelves of what genre and the back of the store is where they keep their clearance items. I liked that they have staff picks descriptions or personal takeaways written on small note cards on the shelves and lots of places to sit around the store, especially in the back. I also noticed a sign on the wall saying you can rent out the clearance room in the back for events which is neat.

Visit Date: June 12, 2024…read more Surprisingly I came to this book shop for the first time to attend an open mic night hosted by my favorite comedienne Jen Snorteland. I was looking forward to checking the store out and I wasn't disappointed. They sell used books so they might not have the latest bestseller or a specific book you are looking for. I wanted to support them so I found a farside book about cows for $2. Eventually I'm sending it to someone I know out of state who appreciates cows. They also make their own coffee blend and sell it which is a plus for me because books and coffee are the best combo in my opinion. Help keep this gem alive! I love this bookstore.

The shop is small but has terrific surprises, including vintage literary books in which I was interested. The store publishes an annual anthology of Long Island poetry. On a regular basis, poetry readings are hosted on certain Friday evenings. The merchandise is inexpensive yet sometimes priceless. The shop is certainly worth a visit as contents are constantly changing. An hour pleasantly spent...we left with a bag of books we're still enjoying!

Friends and i use to shop here over 20 years ago and we got to know the owner well.. i got him to…read moreopen up to me one day and he told me he lost his whole family in the holocaust enough said.. i tryed to stop in a couple of years ago and i got the same reaction from him as other people... he told me if i wasn't there to buy anything then i should leave and he didn't have time to help me ( this is after he realized who i was and remembered me right away he started asking how my other friends are and even mentioned them by name) For anyone who had a bad experience here just look at the man then maybe it will make more sense its just unfortunate cause it really is a cool store and he has alot of rare and collectible books.

While you look through the store, the owner determines your store credit and can place the determined credit towards your book purchases that day. My 3 books brought in $10 in credit and I paid $19 for the 4 books pictured. I can bring the books back for credit when I'm finished reading. It's a great value and continuously saves books for the next reader! Also, check their Facebook to place a hold on books!

It seemed strange that a place would be called Austin book shop and located on Jamaica Ave, but…read morethen I read it used to be located on Austin Street in Kew Gardens. My first question was what I ask all used bookstores -- did they had a philosophy section, but "very little or no humanities", according to Ray Harley, the owner. "What we do have is Baseball and American history." Both of which they have in abundance. He wasn't kidding. Shelves and shelves of books on the sport -- I mean, if you're into all things baseball, this is a literary treasure trove). In addition to American history. I also found a decent section on Jewish and U.S. Catholic history as well. The store itself was a study in chaos; apparently they were unearthing a lot of material from the cellar, so boxes and boxes everywhere which required some nimble navigation of the stacks. But what was shelved themselves was fairly organized. It's definitely a good place for browsing. Pricing: specializing in old, rare and out-of-print, most books on the shelf that I found were in the $20-25 range. There are a everal $1 carts out front where I found some pleasant surprises. Takeaways (nice haul): - The Mission: A Film Journal by Daniel Berrigan, S.J. -- regarding the making of one of my favorite movies. From the dollar carts: - - America's Lighthouses, An Illustrated History - Diary of a Dead Man 1862-1864 (Ira Pettit, Union Private) - When the Cheering Stopped, The Last Years of Woodrow Wilson, by Gene Smith - "Talk to the Hand" a DOONESBURY compilation I'll definitely be back. Odd hours as it's only open weekends. Tip for those contemplating going: the owner advised to call ahead to inquire about hours, "because I'll never know when I'll be babysitting."
