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.”

Please check my FaceBook page for announcements of special events happening in the shop 
My usual hours are now 1–6 pm, six days a week (with the closed day varying from week to week). Please call ahead to check for weekly variations the schedule; my hour are here on my website, on my voicemail, and posted in front of the shop. I’d also be happy to make an appointment at a time convenient for you.
Worldwide shipping, local deliveries by bike, gift certificates, registries, and free gift wrapping always available!
Mastercard, VISA, AMEX, Discover (both credit and debit), personal checks, and traveler’s checks accepted. Oh yes, cash, too.
PLEASE NOTE: As of March 3, 2016, I will no longer accept AMAZON VISA cards. I have no interest in encouraging people to buy more on Amazon.
“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.
**Please do not bring in books to sell without speaking to me first.**
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!
I’M BACK! AND I HOPE YOU WILL BE, TOO.
It has been my great pleasure to serve up a delicious selection of cookbooks to customers near and far for the past 22 years.
NEWS FLASH! Check out some great East Village “shopportunities” in November and December here: http://evimanyc.org/2020-holiday-crawl
Tip: Books & Music Week begins Monday, November 15.
Things are starting to feel a little bit (dare I say it?) normal.
THANK YOU to everyone who has visited in the past few months! To those who prefer to place email or phone orders, I’m still doing bike deliveries as well as shipping books (as always).
I’m having no more than four customers at a time in the shop, and you may stay as long as you like if nobody’s waiting to come in. You’re still welcome to make an appointment (by email or phone) for any reason — if your schedule is tight, you have a special research project, etc.
Please come to the shop only if you’re feeling well. You must wear a mask while you’re here, but please do not wear gloves. I’ll offer you hand sanitizer when you arrive and before you leave.We’ll keep that all-important 6-foot distance from one another.
My hours are posted here, and you can also check them by phone. (But NEVER rely on what’s posted on Google—it’s invariably wrong.) Remember that my hours are not the same every week, and that’s especially true now. If you can’t come in during open hours, I’m happy to make an appointment for a time that works for you.
I know that many people spent their “lockdown” time sorting and culling their book collections. If you have books you’d like to sell (or donate), please read the guidelines in the right-hand column and get in touch with me before bringing them in.
Looking forward — to everything!
