Bookmarc - BOOKMARC by bookstore. - Fashion Near Me - New York, New York

Poor experienced about customer services. I'm very surprised I just asked a question - about the key chain...(I've attached the photo - Green belt one by marc by marc) I was told "I've never seen this one. Im working long enough here...." The man at the store is so sarcastic not helping Customers at all. Now, I understand why this store is always empty. I'm hoping the owner -Marc Jacobs knows about his employees doing to esp; very long customers. I'm a big fun of Marc as well as I support his business since Bleeker street location opened. It used be about 5stores and Huge lines everyday but now it's remaining only one Book Marc store across from Magnolia bakery......not only this, Midtown location just closed up. read more

I've always loved coming here ever since I was in high school. They have a bunch of cute Marc Jacob branded accessories that include everything from pens to phone cases. You can shop for books and other cute items and then go around the corner to magnolia bakery to grab some treats before sitting in the nearby park with your new book. They also sell clothing items here as well and the staff is always very friendly. read more

Terrible customer service. There were two employees, a man and a woman. I was there around 12pm on September 9th. They didn't ask if I needed help, there were not friendly at all. I didn't feel welcome. I was at the Bookmarc store in Tokyo earlier this year and the employees there were the nicest! (Only in Japan!). That's why I was so disappointed visiting the NYC location. Not going back. read more

Thank you BookMarc for the lightning speed shipping and delightful customer service. Miss NYC and this store, can't wait to visit again. read more

Bookmarc - Fashion Near Me - New York, New York

What a beautiful store! But the woman behind the counter on Monday afternoon was hostile as a high school bully. When I casually asked her if she liked the Cookie Mueller book I had bought, she glared at me, and said "I don't think I can give you a real answer." When I asked why, she dryly said "because we have different lives," throwing me deadpan, dagger vibes, coldly staring at the computer. I was shocked. (I am white, but I'm still a person.) I asked her to elaborate, my tone neutral, and she straight up ignored my question while swiping my card. I don't know what assumptions she was making about me based on my skin color, but I was being nice. That exchange was frightening and obnoxious. Won't be returning. I can't believe employees can get away with treating customers this way. YIKES! read more

I LOVE Bookmarc. There's always some cute little knickknack here that's cheap enough for me to pick up on the whim. The Boyfriend brought a really nice suede Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet here about two years ago for only $23. He just replaced it today. I've picked up cute long necklaces here for less than $20. They look super cute with just about everything and it's Marc Jacobs! Tip: Things are final sale here so make sure you've made your final decision before buying! read more

I'll be honest, I didn't come in here loooking for a book at all. Was I opposed to the books!? Of course not! I even breezed through and looked to see if there was any books I wanted to by. I'm funny about my books and if I'm not reading something online I'm buying it on amazon..so buying one of these books was pretty much out of the question. I spotted some photography stuff. Wierd stuff. Hipster, Artsy, You probably wouldnt find any of this in a library type of stuff. I came in here looking for a canvas tote. For whatever reason MJ felt it made the most sense to dissemble the accessory store and scatter all of its wonderfulness between like 3 different stores. DUMB IDEA MR. JACOBS! REAL DUMB IDEA! Anways, plenty of books, lot's of school supplies, and the canvas totes I was looking for. I got a tote and some school stuff as a gift to my little cousin...starting her 1st year of college. There was plenty of schoolish knick knacks so it was the perfect spot. Workers were friendly. Definitely friendlier than the workers that used to be in the accessory store. The only thing I warn you is to be totally comfortable with brushing up on strangers and grazing them with body parts you may or may not be ready to share. It's TIGHT as a butthole in there so be prepared. read more

Tiny store aka Bookmarc. Nice, trendy employees. I ignore the books (mostly coffee-table type tomes) and go straight for the small table of cool keychains, desk accessories, and trinkets. OK place to shop for male and unisex gifts. There's a good chance they have in stock whatever relatively cheap knickknacks other Marc Jacobs stores are sold out of. No cash/credit returns. Only store credit or exchanges are available - with receipt and within 14 days of purchase. read more

A bookstore owned by Marc Jacobs, how cute! There are only two of these in the world, one here, and one in Tokyo. I stumbled across this place and loved it so much. I love designer and I love bookstores, and this place balanced both so well. Great selection of interesting books, including LGBTQ books and cookbooks, as well as bags, stationary, and accessories! They have cute book inspired clutches! I love this store! read more

Superb and highly curated bookstore. I love it.

I came in here hoping to run into the owner, Marc Jacobs, but they enticed me with their novelty merchandise. The place is small, so if you are claustrophobic like me then I would not recommend going inside during peak hours. I suggest crowd control like they do at Magnolia Bakery. However, I did enjoy the eye candy that worked there. The staff are so unbelievably helpful and I was just browsing. They have totes with cute Marc Jacobs logo on it and the prices are not bad. The books subjects are really eclectic because one moment I was reading about the history of Jeopardy and the next I was looking at a picture book of nude beach goers in Brazil (ahh my eyes!!). If you are interested in fashion, photography, or anything artsy - then this store is right for you! They have really neat novelty items like lipstick pens, key chains, condoms (WTF? Marc Jacobs must preach safe sex), sharpie markers, notepads, etc. They have a downstairs too but it was closed. I think it could be their inventory area or something. The stairs to go downstairs looked like it could only fit one person at a time. Lastly, I got a free bookmark that said BookMarc - Oh Marc, you're so clever. read more

I was in the city visiting my sister a couple of weeks ago and we sort of couldn't resist a trip to BookMarc. Our mom actually heard that the store was opening first (nary a bookstore in the country opens that she does not know about) so we figured if she tipped us off then we couldn't really not go. We had to report back! My boyfriend's response to my text message describing our destination was: "I'm sure all of the books will be stylishly bound and impossibly thin". Could not have said it better. The shop was a mix of (overpriced) humorous, kitschy items: journals with title pages such as "The Gay Gatsby", "As I Lay Tanning", lipstick pens, etc... and then lots of books that I would like to read. Many of them were (surprise!) about style and fashion, stylish subjects, and an extensive selection of biographies also piqued my interest. The section that I spent the most time perusing was largely non-fiction, but I think I spotted a novel or two as well. More importantly, I saw a lot of books that I think I might not find easily elsewhere. The huge photo album entirely devoted to Kate Moss by Mario Testino was cool, although not something I'd want to own. I was a little skeptical that it was going to be a Marc Jacobs boutique masquerading as a bookstore, but the books outnumbered the accessories for sale (barely...) Still a fun place to stop and browse. read more

This is the type of place I like to visit when I'm in the mood to have twenty people pressed against me, elbowing my back, blocking my path, and whacking me with their purses. Which is never. There are some cool things here (hence the two stars), but it just isn't worth the claustrophobia. read more

Adorable little shop in West Village. Key word: LITTLE. Perhaps I hit the Saturday mid-afternoon rush, but I was barely able to navigate through the store and had to basically plow over a few folks. (sorry!) This store has a variety of items from actual coffee table reads to trinkets by Marc Jacobs. From iphone/laptop cases to random pencils or key rings, it's worth exploring if you're in the area. Items range from $10 - $100+ depends on what you buy. Look everywhere because all the good merchandise is tucked away since this store is quite small. Also, it's opposite of Magnolia Cafe - so time get your banana pudding on! read more

Cute store with a clever little pun. It's a really small, crowded space with art books and other paraphernalia. I ended up purchasing a $13 "amare" necklace. The staff there was really helpful... my mom was trying to find a landmark site in Greenwich village, and they were trying to help us by looking it up online. Though they weren't able to find it, they tried their best. In fact, it felt like there were actually more employees in the store than customers, but maybe it's because they were all dressed in trendy, u.o. clothing- it was hard to distinguish betw. the two. read more

AMAZING This place has some of the coolest little things. In addition to all the fab books and stationary, there are tons and tons of cool Marc Jacobs accessories, purses, etc. Everywhere you turn there is something new to look at. The place is tiny, so it promotes lots of movement. It's hard to standing one place with a constant flow of customers in and out. But every time I made my rounds I found something new and exciting to add to my "cart." I bought a fantastic ring that I have been wearing everyday since, an amazing lipstick pen (perfect for me), and small leather wallet perfect for a few bucks when out on the town. I can't wait to go back! read more

I'm a FAN... It's as GOOD as it GETS... how about this place ROCKS!!!!!!!!! I freaking love BOOKMARC! Was a little dissappointed when my favorite specialty Marc Jacobs store was turned into a regular MJ store but my fears and dissappointment was sothed with a few simple hops across the street. BookMarc has a variety of thing like signature Marc Jacobs specialty items as well as some really cool books. Great for everyone of any age, creed and style preference! read more

Tiny bookstore with Marc Jacob book tote bags, sketchbooks with a twist on titles of classic books like the Grapes of Wrath, and a great selection of art, fashion, and culture books. read more

I am not fan of Jacob and I am not a fan of their art collects in this bookstore. So I only give it as a 3 star. But if you like Marc Jacob, this one is an interesting spot for you to understand more of the hints of Jacob's fashion philosphy as well as his design style. My friend, who loves Jacob, loves this store really much. I was not paying attention to the books on the bookshelves. But all the books they collected based on the coverline seems really artistics. In addition, there are some wallets, bags and jewlery for you to choose and those are not that expensive. Last but not least, service is really nice. My friend had some questions and asked the staff there. The staffs were really helpful and knew every details of the store. I appreciate the efforts. read more

BookMarc is a great spot to peruse oversized coffee table art books or sift through Marc by Marc Jacobs signature trinkets (Marc by Marc mini sharpies, keychains, lipstick pens, etc.) Due to its location and name (and proximity to other Marc Jacobs' stores) this place is typically packed full of tourists and aspiring fashionista students. Avoid the crowd: come early on a weekday (they open at noon.) When it's not jam packed the staff can be quite friendly and helpful. I chatted with an associate for a while about choosing a great laptop sleeve. read more

Cool fashion books here - small space and it gets crazy with tourists that are overloading on the MARC trinkets here!

Yes, the store is small and crowded - but the young woman working there this afternoon was very helpful and pleasant. There's an interesting & eclectic selection of books - especially art - and don't expect any bargains. read more

Love this shop and the people who work here. Alex was extremely helpful and generous with an exchange I made. The selection here is great as well! I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for an interesting book or Marc Jacobs product. read more

Marc Jacobs PERMANENT MARKERS?! I'm sold. read more

Eye candy galore. As a Kate Moss enthusiast I was oogling the Testino giant book hanging out near the entrance. I enjoyed all the smaller items such as sharpies and heart shaped mirrors. Clever. read more

Cute little corner shop with a variety of different books, MJ accessories (iphone & ipad cases), cute bags and a good place to buy gifts at.

Although I love Marc Jacobs and the cute affordable-ish accessory items this place sells, the rating can only be average because of the shopping experience. The location is incredibly small and crowded. Previous reviews are correct that staff are intimidating and not extremely helpful. However, this is a cute place for gifts. read more

Very crowded, very hippy and staff is very scary. The staff all look like vampires, like you're going to be their next dinner. I also felt like they were watching your every move and annoyed when you touched a product to look at it. Nonetheless, I like the set up of the store, with books all around and various accessories spread throughout. read more

So what does Marc Jacobs know about books? Well he doesn't but he knows how to sell other people's books, while at the same time, selling his own popular knick knacks like the canvas tote bags and necklaces. I assume most people come here to buy the "Marc Jacob" merchandises more so than buy actual books. However, I wouldn't necessarily consider this your average bookstore as most of the books they sell here are artsy and hipstery books. The one problem I have with this place is space. I feel like I'm surrounded by walls of books everywhere I turn and the next you thing you know, I'm butt bumping with the surrounding shelves and people who try to slide pass me. If you have claustrophobia, beware. Unfortunately, this place doesn't give me enough of the book-nerdy feel. I'll go back to my Barnes & Noble. read more

Did I come on an off day because I was not impressed with their selection of merchandise. Too much hype? Maybe.

A pretty small shop, but loaded with fun stuff. The books are all pretty modern and chic, lots of pop culture and fashion reads obviously. Some really nice coffee table buys, perfect for the hard-to-buy-for savvy/scholarly friend. LOTS of cute MJ items for any budget. iPad and iPhone covers and cases, necklaces, lipstick pens, markers, notebooks, the list goes on. The perfect shop for gifts! read more

Come for the cute knick-knacks (including the latin inscription rings that are only $4 each) and photo books. I dragged my boyfriend in after brunch in the area, and he wasn't terribly interested in this place. Personally, I thought it was cute -- and emblematic of Marc Jacobs' aesthetic. I was particularly fond of a Trump-themed Cards of Humanity set. read more

One of my favorite shop in NYC. A lot of nice artsy book selections, and lots of cheap knickknack. Always find something to buy, whether for me or for my friends. Feels like a nice posh flea market. I wouldn't recommend going on a week-end though, because the place is small and tends to be crowded easily. read more

This place was so cute! Apart from the obvious pun, there was a lot of fun to be had here. Nothing was cheap enough to tempt me except a super-cute ring which was inscribed in Latin (like my wedding ring) and so I got one for the hubby. The line on it was reminiscent of part of our wedding vows... I knew it probs wouldn't fit him, but for $3 the gesture felt like it was worth it. It was super-busy in here which isn't great for browsing, but I think that's their luck in being opposite Magnolia so people come in for a nosy while they are in the queue over there! read more

I heart bookmarc. The staff was a little intimidating but I just pretended like I was as cool as them and my insecurities melted a little. They had a great selection of books and movies, Edie Sedgwick coffee table book, documentary on graffiti, every Sophia Coppola film, Nightwood. I have always admired MJ as a designer and now I feel like we could be great friends because we have similar tastes in things. read more

I love to come here for the smaller MJ items; rulers, pens, stationary, etc. I do browse the books, then purchase online. The staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

I wouldn't give them a dime. We asked them for a donation of a small gift certificate for a local charity in Greenwich Village, right in their back yard. They jerked us around for several weeks and gave us nothing. Funny that we asked the same of the other book stores in the neighborhood and they contributed with no issues. How many LOCAL charities in GV ask them for donations? Not too many. If they cant contribute to the community, we cant contribute to them. read more

i do love the marc jacobs brand so maybe i'm partial...but i did dig my experience at bookmarc. i actually found the staff here to be more personable than some of the other marc stores in new york. friendly and helpful, i appreciated the staff getting the items i bought not from the floor displays but from the back stock. the selection of books is pretty cool and varied. if you want cheap accessories branded by mbmj this is your go to place. its basically the section of the marc by marc stores that offer the key chains, cheap bags, knick knacks, cell phone and iPad cases, etc but laid out with books. hey, to each her own! read more
