These two wonderful people are siblings Garth and Margo Johnston, who reached out to me when I lost my lease. They are now my landlords, or, as I prefer to call them, my “angels.”

“DO YOU BUY BOOKS FROM INDIVIDUALS?”
I hear this question every single day. Yes, of course I do! That’s where I get 99% of my stock. I don’t usually buy entire collections; I carefully choose books that suit my shop.
The easiest way to show me what you have is by taking digital photos of the books on shelves or in stacks, so that the spine titles can be read, and emailing those to me. If you have fewer than a dozen books, call and read me the titles. Donations are also welcome!
It has been my great pleasure to serve up a delicious selection of cookbooks to customers near and far for the past 27 years.
I can hardly believe it, but I’m almost back to normal after spinal fusion surgery in November. Thank you, HSS and Dr. Girardi!
I’m back on my bike and able to make local book deliveries on wheels again.It took more than a year, but I bought about 1,000 books from the estate of Mimi Sheraton, New York Times restaurant critic, food writer, author, chronicler of New York life, and Greenwich Village neighbor, who died in 2023. The collection arrived in 45 boxes, and I’m gradually unpacking them. The subjects are wide-ranging, and I’m (re)discovering gems as I open the boxes. I’m posting photos of most of the books on Instagram and Facebook. If you don’t have access to either, I can send you the photos by email.
Mimi Sheraton’s personal files and papers will be archived at the New York Public Library—something to look forward to, as it will be quite a while before they’re accessible to the public.Coming to the shop? I post my hours here every Sunday night, and you can also check them by phone; they may not be the same every week. (Ignore hours you see posted on Google; they don’t originate with me.)
If you can’t come in during open hours, make an appointment for a time that works for you. Please give me as much notice as possible.
Looking forward — to everything!
