Streetlevel: New Bookstore on Atlantic

atlanticbooks.jpg
In fact, Atlantic Book Shop is not exactly new. It was once Manhattan's 12th Street Books, a used and rare bookshop in the Village, that has now moved to 179 Atlantic Avenue at Clinton Street. Vanishing New York got inside and snapped a photo, and says it is a successful, quite glorious rebirth. Racked also ran a small post about it.

Its a nice selection and reasonably priced. I had about 90 minutes to kill (waiting for a LICH doctor) and spent most of it in this store. Was left alone by the owner (good), and while I did not find anything I wanted to buy, there were many interesting selections. Reminds me of the classic (now vanished) small Greenwich village used book stores.

I lived about two blocks away from 1996-2003. There used to be small stores like this all over Cobble Hill. I suggest everyone goes and buys a book before this place joins the Musician's General Store, Dom's Music and Pete's Ice Cream on the neighborhood's R.I.P. list.

Also, this store used to be a realtor - now that's a neighborhood change I can support.
