About

"New York's best bookstore for and about children" --New York magazine

Story

Bank Street Bookstore opened in 1970 in a small space in the lobby of the Bank Street College. Before long, the bookstore’s success necessitated a move to a larger location on the corner of 112th Street and Broadway. Originally intended as a small store serving the needs of the college community, the bookstore has grown into a resource for the neighborhood and for the community of parents and educators worldwide. The last bastion of bookstores where the books are hand-selected and the sellers know their product.

Andy Laties, the current manager, is the author of Rebel Bookseller: Why Indie Bookstores Represent Everything You Want to Fight for from Free Speech to Buying Local to Building Communities http://www.yippeeskippy.com/rebelbookseller/wordpress/?page_id=11

You could make a real argument for this bookstore being the best bookstore on the east coast - no joke. While the selection is great, the staff is absolutely phenomenal. Go here - ask for help - and you'll experience a level of knowledge and personal service that is rare in this Amazon prime world we live in.
