    Stopped at unnamable books after a coffee date with one of my girlfriends. Books were categorized by genres but as I was looking I noticed certain books didn't belong where they were placed. As I was purchasing my books the cashiers vibes were extremely off and unfriendly. He did not greet me just asked card or cash and just handed me the POS when I said card. When my friend went to purchase her books he was far more kinder to her and her bf. I love going to independent book stores but will not be returning to this one.

    When we found out there was an independent bookstore in the area we headed on over to see what treasures we could find. Outside they had books on sale for GREAT prices, my daughter picked up a couple and then we headed inside. After much leisurely browsing we paid for our 5 books (I know... I can't help myself, books are my drug) at really great prices. There is nothing that warms my heart more than this type of small business. I plan on visiting every time I go to see my kids in Brooklyn.

    Cozy bookstore near the dispensary I frequent. Kind of disorganized but I do like the indie graphic novels. I'll be back again soon.

    Excellent local bookstore. A true independent gem with great selection. Can't wait to see the new space!

    The owner is rude and could care less how she speaks to customers. I can spend my money elsewhere, thanks.

    1.8 miBrooklyn 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!
