Don't go to Barnes and Nobles. Go to a place with history and books you never knew existed. Go to a store with a cat.

Wonderful bookshop with used books in several languages, old books and there is a charming little black cat. Very nice the young man who told me where the children's books I was looking for were. I found 3 of them at a very economical price!

Nice little Bookstore with an old touch to it. You can basically find everything you would or wouldn't want here. Friendly staff

It was the thrill of my trip back to my old neighbourhood to find Westsider Books still there, little changed from when I worked at its previous incarnation Gryphon Bookshop in the late 1980s. With so much of my old Upper West Side gone, to have this and Zabar's immoveable on this block did my heart good. In many ways, this shop *has* improved, including some lovely finishing touches. But of course the main thing is the outstanding selection of modern and collectable books. Why would you shop online when you can get so so much more from this incredible independent shop that has survived so many changes in this neighbourhood? May the next 33 years find you thriving as well. Here is me working at Gryphon in 1989 and for comparison, this week.

I saw someone doing that once, so I think it's OK. If that doesn't work, you can just donate them.

You might have better luck calling the store and asking them directly instead of posting a question about them on a Google Maps listing - I hope you can find the book you're looking for!

I think in person! It's a lovely place like a museum and antiques in one. They have a catalogue though and if I find a card I'll add a website since I'm not certain.

June Hewitt | Sep 30, 2017

I am pretty sure it is worth a lot, especially if it's in pristine condition. Try and get it evaluated as soon as possible to see.
