Visit Date: June 12, 2024…read more Surprisingly I came to this book shop for the first time to attend an open mic night hosted by my favorite comedienne Jen Snorteland. I was looking forward to checking the store out and I wasn't disappointed. They sell used books so they might not have the latest bestseller or a specific book you are looking for. I wanted to support them so I found a farside book about cows for $2. Eventually I'm sending it to someone I know out of state who appreciates cows. They also make their own coffee blend and sell it which is a plus for me because books and coffee are the best combo in my opinion. Help keep this gem alive! I love this bookstore.

While you look through the store, the owner determines your store credit and can place the determined credit towards your book purchases that day. My 3 books brought in $10 in credit and I paid $19 for the 4 books pictured. I can bring the books back for credit when I'm finished reading. It's a great value and continuously saves books for the next reader! Also, check their Facebook to place a hold on books!

I will list for $4 bucks less and save someone else some money so they wont shop there for it either!

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."
