When I was a kid, there was an old bookstore in the South Street Seaport in New York City. The…read morestore was located inside a riverfront building that dates back to the late 18th century. The feel of store was unmistakable and left a lasting impression on me. When I enter Baldwin's, I am transported back to that old bookstore of my youth. Walking through four levels of books, it's easy for one to feel as if they've been transported to a bygone era, in which reading was the entertainment option of choice for most and still viewed as the single best escape from a hard worn day. Just when you think they couldn't possibly cram any more books into this old barn, you turn a corner, find all new nooks and crannies, and find yourself drawn to collections from every era over the last century. There's something other-worldly about Baldwin's that is hard to describe, but it's very easy to lose yourself for hours. The title selections cover every topic under the sun, with many of the offerings being long out of print and only available on the secondary market. The prices are reasonable, but make no mistake, this is not a discount bookstore. This is an independent seller, with books that you're not going to necessarily find at your big chain options. The service is friendly, very much in the vein of a mom and pop/private business. They conveniently provide a map so you can find your way around, and trust me it is useful. The proprietor is more than happy to guide you in the right direction, or chat about your purchases, or answer any questions you might have. If you have a friend or family member, who is a book lover, this is a must see destination for them.

Beautiful spot, great service, and a massive collection of used books. I came on my birthday and it…read morewas a blast to just walk up all of the floors (I think there were 4) and see what they had. The only thing I wish is that they'd had a bigger collection of Easton Press/Franklin Press books - I came looking for more classics and I found this particular collection to be a little small. Otherwise, amazing spot.

I love this store. Tom, the owner, is one of the friendliest people I've ever met. The inventory is…read moreconstantly updated and the store often runs great sales.

Over all this book store is a GREAT spot for the community with fun activities and events that draw…read morepeople in and a helpful staff. My one and only issue is that their book club never really changes its theme Yes okay the books change but the themes never do. They are always about women and struggle and over coming things or some type of issue be It with the main character mother, father, or being a black artist in the civil war or a woman who is fighting a mental illness. I joined the book club once to get myself out and possibly in a circle of people and to get me to read something I normally wouldn't which it accomplished ans I did enjoy myself at the club. However month after month all the books just start to sound the same. Why can't they not have a women space pirate or witch battling demons or maybe a male detective They have also recently started a murder mystery book club that I have yet to be able to attend but be warned even though it's free and you can bring a snack and even though you say you are going to attend they will still ask you if you are going to buy the book because it is avaliable in the store.

What a charming new and used bookstore in fed hill. I've seen this store for years and years and…read morenever stopped in. But I was in the area checking out a new vintage store and thought I'd pop in. Retail is kind of dying in this area, but book escape was thriving. There were lots of people in there browsing and reading. There's a really cute back area with a mermaid mural and a reading nook. There's a lot of brand new books sold at 15% off, which are among the best sellers list. I thought in this economy - what a steal of a deal that is! The front desk is right around the front corner and the owner seemed nice. There's a huge selection of music in the corner and I thought that for a used bookstore, it was really well organized. It is a little clustered, but overall really bright and airy and lots of books!
