I visited The Book Trader a few days ago. What an experience!…read more First of all, they have every type of book imaginable. From cookbooks to sci fi, from fantasy to biographies, from adult romances to children's picture books! You could find books from the 1600s all the way until the 21st century. The Book Trader is exactly what its name says: it trades books. You can bring books, which they will give you store credit for and then you can buy books for cheaper than they would cost in a regular store. This was such a great idea, in my opinion. I traded in 2 books and bought one. Now, aside from being separated vaguely by genre and authors' works being mostly together, there is no other sorting system to this store. Books, as you can see in my pictures, are all over the place and it is very hard to walk around parts of the store. If you want a specific book...good luck! Also, make sure you have cash on you. The store only takes cash and checks.

Tons of used books available, and the owner was extremely helpful. Very reasonable pricing and they…read moreeven offer a trade back program (bring books you bought back for credit towards another purchase). We will definitely return when we finish reading what we picked up in this trip!

I'd expect to see this bookstore cafe in somewhere like in Ogunquit, Burlington, Bar Harbor, Austin, or Asheville? Super cute place with an interesting, eclectic selection of used books. They have a little coffee shop/cafe at the front - and there's an area where they have talks and live music on certain days. The people who work there are so incredibly friendly and helpful. I think there's a cute little outdoor area, but it was closed last time I visited. Hope to drop by here next time I'm in Staten Island!

My sister and I received a warm welcome when we walked in so we immediately felt comfortable. It's a small yet comfortable bookshop where you're surrounded by so many different books, toys, merch, etc. It was a quick stop for me since I already knew what I wanted, but I can't wait to re-visit and spend more time diving in on what they have. I would love to bring my little cousins here too, so many adorable children's books. When it was time to purchase, of course I couldn't leave without a tote bag which is amazing quality btw! The lady took a photo of my sister and I before we left as they post on their Instagram account. Next door, there is a cafe if you want to grab something to eat/drink. All in all, it was a great experience here. Glad to have a bookshop only 5 minutes away!

I've been a long-time patron of Community Bookstore (which offers excellent readings, great staff…read moreselection and service, a friendly resident cat with a Twitter following, and effective publicity for events both in the store and Borough-wide) and was thrilled to learn that the owners would be opening a sister shop specializing in used books and "out of print editions, old editions with cool covers, oddities, etc." My English professor friend and I were very pleased to have stumbled upon some rare first editions and limited print editions with stunning cover designs and illustrations (available at reasonable prices because slightly flawed), discovered works of whose existence we were hitherto unaware written by some of our favorite authors, and received excellent and friendly service. For example, after ringing up my order, the staff member pointed me to a pamphlet from a quirky rare bookseller whose philosophy seems akin to that of Terrace Books and which really resonated with me: "Honey & Wax Booksellers offers great works of literature: rare first printings, beautiful and curious editions, copies with surprising stories of their own. We handle unique books, striking books, books with no downloadable equivalent. Our name is inspired by a nineteenth-century epigram: "use books as bees use flowers." We like to see books, like flowers, in the field: on nightstands, in backpacks, given to friends, shared with children, passed across the bar at last call. And we like to hear readers buzzing: 'You have to read this.' 'I marked a page.' 'This made me think of you.' Don't be afraid to open our books, don't lock them away for safekeeping. Use books as bees use flowers, and pollinate the world.'" Terrace Books also contains a well-curated children's section, which is de rigueur for this area, which I've dubbed "Mr. Roger' s Neighborhood." Quite a few families in fact stopped in during my extended perusal. Terrace Books is exactly the kind of shop--ripe for serendipitous, singular findings, in tune with its environs, and proffering individualized customer service--which should remind everyone to support their local, independent book stores and not let Amazon bots insidiously, albeit cheaply, dictate one's selections. My friend and I were immensely pleased with our rare finds and will savor them for decades. I know that I will be stopping in to browse here early and often, and I highly recommend that others do go and make their visit.
