Yeah I don't get it. I think most people like it because it's an institution or a great photo spot. But it's basically impossible to find what you want. The signs telling you what floors are scribbled over, the stacks are super close together (not accessibility friendly at all), and just overall frustrating. If you want to purchase a book, I'd go somewhere else

Love this little slice of peace in the city. Best to have an idea of what you want because so many options it can be overwhelming. Three stories of just books old and new.. if you don’t like right spaces it might be best to take a few deep breaths before you entering.

Check in with them or call and they can tell you right away what they have. That section is a little small but they can also help or get more each week when they get inventory in.

They do, but it's limited

I have two sets of books to sell, very good condition, and I'm wondering if you'd be interested. Waverley Novels (Sir Walter Scott): Boston: James B. Osgood and Co., 1871, 16-volume set. Thackeray's Works, Phila.: Lippincott, 1878, 24-volume set.
