I don’t understand the $$$$. The prices are reasonable, a lot of quality books. Definitely one of the best bookstore in Manhattan.

I’m another who doesn’t understand the 4 dollar signs. I saw things as cheap as $ 4 in there. This store is a treasure for any book lover. They have everything from classic used books in great condition to new books to signed copies to 1st/​2nd/​3rd editions of books all for very reasonable prices. It’s quite small, but I swear there is something in there for everybody. On top of that the staff is super friendly. I will be back many times and will be recommending this place to everyone.

4 dollar signs on Unilocal?Really? Found the prices to be very reasonable and the selection pretty solid, especially for its size.

I have a weakness for bookshops. I can only imagine how hard it is to survive when the monster chains and the internet are so powerful.
This bookstore is very small, but you can find a little bit of everything there. Vintage (or used) books often contain hand-​written dedications, old bookmarks, or tickets.
This time I ended up with Kahlil Gibran’s «The Prophet», the 1979 edition.
Definitely stop by to find your own treasures.

Lots of quality books at reasonable prices. Strong on fiction, classics, and poetry. Staff is non-​intrusive, informed, and willing to share their knowledgeable insights when asked. Most every shelf has a pleasant surprise — a book or magazine that will grab your interest.

I had passed by this place often, and finally walked in to get a birthday present for my dad, who loves books and authors. I found a beautiful signed, first edition by an author he likes. And the store owner threw in, for free, a large lovely print of a photo of the author he had taken. What an unexpectedly great experience.

I stumbled upon this one while wandering in the village, and I’m so glad I did. It’s exactly as a great bookstore should be, full of wonderful, fine old books as well as a variety of inexpensive new and used ones. The selection is fantastic, and I’m super happy that I was able to find a great first edition for a reasonable price, as well as a $ 5 paperback. You can tell that the owner is extremely well-​read and has thoughtfully selected only the best. I’m not sure why people think this is a super pricey place. Sure they have an expensive first edition first printing of «A Hundred Years of Solitude», but they also have plenty of other great books that cost about the price of a latte. A true gem!

I visited this store today and it has a decent selection for such a small place, but realistically the space limitations mean the choices are rather limited. The prices seemed reasonable and the woman working there was pleasant, but I didn’t think the selection would warrant another visit.

if i told you what lined their shelves
i would (really) have to kill you
and steal back the books that you’ve bought from here
and put them on my own shelf (minus the price tag)

A great store for any aspiring writer or anyone who loves books in general. Left Bank Books has a timeless feel to it’s layout, with a large collection of books laid out in an organized sprawl everywhere. I stopped in with a friend intending to take a look and proceeded to have a wonderful conversation with the owner and one of his friends.
In the end I left the store with $ 40 dollars of books! But I had gotten a collection of 5 hard to get books in excellent condition. There are actually good deals here if you are not afraid of looking around the store.

Don’t go looking for a specific book but just to have fun looking at wonderful collection of first editions and unusual old books, and chatting with Zeke. How they earn enough to stay in business is a mystery, but pray they stay for ever because this is the kind of store that makes the village the village.

I love this place. It is a shame that stupid marc jacobs will be taking over the store when it moves around the block in a month or so. Left Bank has all the greats and some stuff you would never exspect but i am just sad it is leaving me. Damm you Mark Jacobs.

Small, but full of really wonderful, uncommon books.
Perhaps the reason such interesting books are ON THE SHELVES (and in stacks on the floor, and on stands, and everywhere else) instead of IN COLLECTIONS is the extremely high prices.
On average, I’d say they’re higher than Argosy, although thankfully cheaper than Bauman.
Still worth a look, if you’re in the Village.

If you are a book lover and somewhat of a slave/​whore to your favorite authors/​poets/​etc, THIS is a mecca for you.
I’ve been twice, and it only gets better. Nestled off W 4th, its a great place to stop relax while getting lost in a literary world. What makes this experience so sublime is not only the excellent selection, but the owner and the guy at the register who’s-name-i-cant-recall. They are we versed in the history of almost every pick, bios, and wil even lend you their phone if yours happens to die when you realize your running late to meet someone for dinner and need to tell them about this awesome discovery you made.
i’ve found this makes the perfect gift for aspiring writers or literary friends (throw in a Cross pen and your golden)

I saw this tucked-​away little place and said, «Oooh, a used book store!» So I swung the heavy old door open and began rummaging through the shelves. The store is packed with books, every shelf bursting with old and new titles, and the smell of old-​book overwhelmingly invigorating. I found a faded copy of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and opened the cover for the price– $ 125! A first edition! WTF? Ohhhh, this is a VINTAGE bookstore with collector’s books and incredibly old copies and first editions. Still fun to poke around in, and super fun if you’re a serious collector or book fiend. Great selection of plays and art books, and the owner is brilliant. Enjoy!
