I don’t remember the name of this book store. There were so many to choose from back then.

You think it’s the Griffith Book Store? I had a feeling that it was the Pagent Book Store in the East Village.

Perhaps all those hole in the wall bookstores look the same. I was thinking of Westsider Books, but they may have had a different name a one time.

Griffin was on Broadway and about 79th across from Shakespeare and Barnes and Noble. But you’re right. there were a lot of hole in the wall places back then.

It’s across from Zabars and one block from Barnes and Noble. Of course there’s a Staples and and Starbucks on the block now too…I think Shakespeare has popped up again somewhere, but not in its old location.

Now there is a bookstore I could get happily lost in for hours, maybe even days!

Have you watched the fabulous documentary about NY bookstores? It’s called The Booksellers- it came out this year and it’s on Amazon Prime 📖

Haven’t seen it. I’m almost afraid to, given that most bookstores have disappeared. Thanks for the recommendation! I have other snaps of NYC bookstores on my site.
