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."

Good bookstore. Full of good books. Highly recommend that you drop by to buy some cool and good old…read morebooks.
