Before it was a bookstore, it was a very random place- real estate?, sellingT-shirts in the window?, insurance, or notary, or a bunch of somethings–and very very musty.

I’ve been to the one on Smith. I wonder how they got the new location so musty so soon.

Oh, I wish it was scooting about on a rascal!

Heights Books moved to Smith Street. I was there yesterday. Just as musty as their old store.

PS Books in Dumbo isn’t shabby, either. One of the better used bookstores in the New York area, I think. Good prices, too.

And Freebird Books in Red Hook (or, as the real estate agents have taken to calling it, “Carroll Gardens West”) is decent.

See? With all these great used bookstores nearby, what’s the point in shopping online? You live in Brooklyn, man — milk it for all it’s worth! It’s not like you’re rotting away somewhere in rural North Dakota.

If you want, I’ll even loan you my old person tricycle. It has a basket in the back for all the angry letters I mail to my congressman.

Red, Is that a bike you’ll be riding or a rascal? Bookstores are for senior citizens.

With–yeah–the exception of good secondhand ones like that one on Atlantic. There’s a good one on Montague Street too.

Awesome post, Drew. Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to bike there tomorrow afternoon.

And alan — you’re missing out on some great deals around Brooklyn, dude. Atlantic Books on Atlantic / Court — to name just one spot — has an excellent used selection. One of their staff members is a total douche, but that’s par for the course.

Shopping online is for housewives and little girls.
