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 28 years.
THIS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24TH is the sixth annual Lower East Side Halloween Bookstore Crawl! Seven local bookstores will offer perks, prizes, discounts, raffles, and CANDY to lure you into our literary lairs. The participants are in the East Village, Lower East Side, and Chinatown: Afterword Bookshop, Book Club Bar, Pillow-Cat Books, Sweet Pickle Books, Village Works, Yu and Me Books, and Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks. Each shop has a different plan for the day—I’ll be giving 10% OFF everything. The shop will be open from noon to 6 p.m. Please come!
If you’re planning a visit, note that 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!
