This is not a place I would ever expect to have a bad experience. Never had before. Today,…read more11/30/2025....what an awful interaction with a miserable women that I was later told is a store manager. I was having a hard time finding a book by James Fell, a fairly well known author. I asked her where I could find his books and instead of simply looking this up I got a nasty face, and a disdainful "I don't know who that is. Are you sure that's the right name?" Not her words...her tone and demeanor. SMH. Another employee, right nearby, assisted me, found the book in seconds and was on his way. No...I didn't buy it. Principle. I passed her again later and got another dirty look....really? Another issue entirely...is there a good reason that there are novels...many novels.... in the religion section? Inquiring minds would like to know. I hadn't been in this store in quite some time...won't return any time soon. Changed and not for the better. FTR...everyone else that I spoke to in the store, aside from the rude manager, was quite pleasant, friendly, and helpful. Wow, B & N...Amazon is eating you. Do better.

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.

The prices are easily identifiable by the stickers. They have a punch card for buying multiple children's books. Kids can even bring in report cards with good scores to get free books!

Such a cute book store! I came across this shop after visiting the planting fields, and they have a…read morenice selection of books and merchandise. The bookstore is small, but it doesn't feel messy or unorganized. Each section was labeled and the books were displayed in a way that made you want to pick up each book. The cashier/employee was also very nice. If you're interested in books like Common Sense or the Constitution, there is a small section towards the front of the store where they sell books related to Washington, Ben Franklin, etc. I purchased a mug and bookmark, the mug was around $14 and the bookmark was around $7. Cash and card accepted!

While strolling through Oyster Bay on a summer afternoon, I made my way over to this adorable…read morebookstore. My New Year's resolution this year was to "shop local" and I am so glad I have been. Theodore's Books is situated conveniently in the midst of many dining establishments and plenty of on-street and municipal (free!) parking. I was immediately greeted when I walked in, but I was left alone (thankfully!) to peruse at my leisure. After selecting a book, I recalled wanting another book that I'd heard about recently. I asked the young person behind the counter and she knew the exact title, author, and where in the store I could find it. Easy and low-pressure purchase, great prices, and personalized service. This venue is charming, has all current bestsellers available, and the staff knows how to help find books to fit your needs. I also learned they run a monthly book club and have special events/speakers. How wonderful! For my bookish followers, RUN to this store and enjoy a slice of small-town America right here on Long Island.

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."
