Oh, I totally fell for this place while I was living in New York this summer! They have such a great selection of little notebooks and the best iced lattes!

I love this bookshop and for me it was also the first bookshop I visited whilst I lived in NYC. I have to agree with you about the staff and also sitting in café, street/people watching. It also has great reading events. :-)

C’est ma librairie préférée de New York aussi! J’habitais à 10 minutes avant. Je l’adore pour son ambiance, sa sélection de livres et ses cookies au peanut butter trop bons.

J’ai acheté la plupart de mes livres là-bas, c’est ma librairie préféré.

It is exciting to see how much you enjoy this bookstore! I used to visit a bookstore in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada called McNally Robinson (http://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/about#.UKUvnNf554M) and it was one of my favourite places. I knew it had a few sister stores and now know that McNally Jackson in NY is one of them.

Je ne connaissais pas Garance…J’adore les librairies de New york, moi quand je viens à New York, je prends désormais l’habitude de me poser dans la très grande librairie située dans le grand centre shopping de Colombus circle, il y a aussi Barnes and Noble mais j’aime moins car trop de monde (je ne suis pas très originale, c’est mon côté touriste).

I love this place style!!!

Garance, please check out the best book store in the world. It’s in Buenos Aires. El Grand Splendid in Avenida Santa Fe.

I started reading books by Rumer Godden, British, this last year. They are terrific. Black Narcissus is a total classic. Her characters always have something so surprising and shocking about them. Her memoirs are fascinating — especially the first one.

Of course, To Kill a Mockingbird. One of the best of all times. Just finished DV by Diana Vreeland and loved it; also The Fall about 1960s Paris fashion. Thanks Garance for the tip on those two.

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Wall, her memoir. So poignant. A great read.

Rain of Gold and all the books by Victor Villasenor. Every time I start to complain about something, I think of what his grandmother went through in the Mexican Revolution. Fascinating look into Mexican-American life in California. Not at all what you might expect. His memoir , Burro Genius, about being a dyslexic kid in the 1950s and beaten bloody by teachers for speaking Spanish, even though his father was wealthy at the time, shows how far we’ve come.

Waiting to find some contemporary novels that knock my socks off. Memoirs and biographies seem more passionate to me these days. I will try some of the ones recommended. Thank you everyone and Alex.

One of my favorite spots in NYC, at one of my favorite streets in the whole world! I miss being there…

my absolute favorite bookstore.. i can spend hours getting lost here
