What a progressive readers dream bookstore. Great options for used books and new alike! Also cool special and signed editions of rarer books. A true gem!

One of my favorite bookstores in NYC. Lots of great fiction, graphic novels, social justice oriented books, books by POC authors, and liberatory content, including People’s History posters and zines. I adore the vibe of this bookstore and the people who work here are warm, kind, and great at recommending perfect books. A staple Bed-Stuy establishment that represents the community in many ways. Please let this bookstore stay in our community for a long time 😌

Cool indie bookstore, homey and friendly vibe, nice selection of socially conscious and revolutionary books and art (don't miss the baby book about Tupac, cause you gotta start them young). I’ll def return!

Very large selection of Marxism and Philosophy titles, used and some new mixed together. Fortunately the prices are pretty reasonable for the most part.
