Book Culture on Broadway

A very rude lady at the register in the children’s section downstairs. She was very unprofessional and acted very rude as soon as we arrived. She was rushing to close the store even though there was still time for my 2 year old son to pick up a toy. I had to ask her to give us two minutes so at least my son could pick up something and we could go. She was very rude. If the store wants to have returning customers, they need to hire better staff.

Kind staff and helped me find my book quickly!

Great queer friendly bookstore with interesting and “controversial” books, especially ones critical of us imperialism.

If you can’t find a book in here that you want then I suggest you call Amazon but more than likely you’ll get it here. This is a beautiful place there’s two of them, two of the book stores. They both are in close proximity to Columbia university. And that says a lot about what they carry.

Lovely, warm little bookstore. They have quite a wide collection of books, and some come with notes about personal picks from the staff. They also have a wide variety of gifts, some quirky. It was a delightful find, and one that might interest those who are near Columbia University.

The staff was friendly and the selection was varied and contemporary. Great for browsing. The store is inviting and clean; it has an intellectual but light and cheery atmosphere to it. I'll definitely recommend this store to others and will be back. Don't forget to go around the corner and down the stairs to their children section. It really is nice to see them take this market seriously. There are a lot of kids toys and books to choose from. Cute little space too.

Great service, selection, and prices.

I've just moved to the area and decided to have quite the walk to Book Culture and let me say... it was well worth it!

The employees were wearing masks. They were attentive to every customer. They are also having a limited amount of people enter the store to ensure safety. Hand sanitizer is also available and encouraged.

I enjoy the little handwritten recommendations they have on different shelves. Having that read gave me inspiration for what I might want to read next!
