    This is a tiny place, but has so much to offer. +1 if you're looking for any classic literature, anything in Spanish, anything in the black/gender/queer studies realm, looks like they had a solid mystery and comic selection too.

    Intrigued after walking past during a day of thrifting. This place is compact and filled with used and some new books on an array of subjects. I picked out Octavia Butlers Fledgling and haven't been able to put it down since. The vibe is truly chill and the people who work here are truly down to earth. I could have stayed here for hours exploring! It's tiny but patrons were safely practicing social distancing which is always great. There's even a $1 book section, which you really never see anymore. This is definitely a gem.

    My favorite bookstore in all of Bushwick and NYC. This place has it all. There are so many hidden gems that I've purchased and read from this store, I can't even name them all. The staff is incredible, and they always give the best recommendations if you don't know what to read next. They are extremely knowledgeable about almost every genre. The best part about this store is they are superrrrr affordable, so you can buy all the books you can consume!!

    Lots of used and new books

    I had a nice experience here yesterday. I found a dollar book that I had been wanting to read for a few years, and because the smallest bill I had was a $5 they just gave it to me with the understanding that I will return to pay for it in the future. Turns out they really need $1 bills! It's just nice to go to a local business that treats their patrons in this kind of "small town" way by employing the honor system when necessary. I don't live super close by, but next time I'm in the neighborhood I'll bring them their dollar.

    Cannot believe that no one has reviewed this yet! It's a wonderful little used book store on Flushing Avenue in Bushwick and my go to spot for social reading. They have racks of books outside of the store that are only $1! You can find some decent books out there that they either have too many copies of, or that have been pushed aside on the shelves for too long. Lost amongst the classics... That brings me to the classics. All of those books that you were supposed to read in high school, or the ones that you've never found the time to read. They're all here. Used copies usually ranging from $3-6. For the price of a cup of coffee you can pick up some solid subway reading. Everything is listed alphabetically by author's last name. Then they have a small room organized by topic of non-fiction stuff, with some decent books on NYC/local history. Definitely worth stopping in. Prices are all written in pencil in the top right-hand corner of the first page. They also buy books! Clear off your shelves and pick up something new!

    An Excellent Assortment of everything  from Literature to Mystery . The customer service is Excellent, highly recommend this Bookstore.

    Human Relations is just Incredible, I stopped in today and picked up 4 books that I've been looking for. Stories and Prose & Prose by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Queen of the Dark Chamber by Christiana Tsai, and two titles by Robert Frost, Early Poems and You Come Too. The customer service is Excellent, the bookshop is Very Well organized, very clean and the layout is perfect for browsing. The gentleman behind the counter is very Courteous and Knowledgeable of the stock. Just love this Bookshop, Highly Recommend A,+++++ I just retired so I'll be there alot !!!

    This is my favorite place in my neighborhood. The book selection here is unbelievable -- the fiction section has everything I was looking for, amazingly. It's a wonderful place to spend an afternoon.

    See all

    This bookstore is a treasure trove! It's so much more fun to shop here than online and it feels good to support such a great local place.

    Friendly place that I would be comfortable in spending most of the day to explore, with nice classical music in the background.

    Brooklyn Heights

    I was visiting Brooklyn and knew I wanted to come in for the Incardi mini print vending machine,…read morebut once I was there, I was just loving the vibes of the store. Everyone was so kind and there was a lot of things to browse! I am not even a physical book girlie but I really enjoyed the selection they had and if I lived in the area, I would be coming back often to continue to support. It was a short walk from the Brooklyn Bridge and allowed me to explore more of the area, which was a huge plus for me!

    I visited this Brooklyn Heights location of Books Are Magic this past weekend with some friends…read more I'd been to the shop's first location (Carroll Gardens) before - it opened in 2017, but I hadn't realized that this location opened in 2022! But we were wandering around and just came upon it. The store is a good size; you can definitely lose time exploring and browsing. It doesn't feel as tight as many independent bookstores can either. Founded by author Emma Straub, both Books Are Magic locations have some really wonderful touches: lots of recommendations by booksellers on the shelves, a large section of translated fiction, and merch for bibliophiles. I had to be dragged out - but not before I picked up a book that I hadn't seen on/in any tables, endcaps, pyramids in any other bookstore in the last few months. If you love to read, Books Are Magic is well worth a stop to browse and get inspired by a new read!
