Heres A Book Store in other cities:
I love this place so much! The ambience is so endearingly cozy and musty. The books appear to be stacked every which way, but theres a method to the madness, and you can find what youre looking for (and if you cant, the owner can). Customer service is thoughtful, and they really seem to care about you. (Either they really do care, or else they deserve an Academy for a very convincing performance.)
Ive lived in Midwood my whole life and this place has been here for a while. The owners will always order for you if they dont have what your looking for and will call you personally so you can pick up from the store. The store has a homely feel to it and you can browse through to find some interesting selections that you wouldnt think to buy but that are interesting all the same. I think its important for people to support small businesses like this one because there is something special about reading a physical book rather than a Kindle version. Its also important to support people that are promoting literacy in our neighborhoods. So next time you need a book, try to go here rather than ordering online, the experience is well worth it.
This is such a charming location. They have some good finds in discount. I always try and purchase from here when reasonable to do so.Time from time they will buy books off of you but they don’t seem to be doing this as of 11/16/19. I hope it gets some more business the staff are so knowledgeable and helpful.
Went there for the first time on a Friday afternoon and it was an amazing experience! The owner was super nice and patient even after every question I asked him (bought 5 books w/ some discount). There are stacks and stacks of new, used, and old books around the bookstore. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for any book or for just reading some books while in the store. If you do go, it is better to ask the owner for the books you are looking for since they have a complex way of organizing the books. Will go there again soon!
This is a store I could spend hours in. The owners know everything about every book and exactly where it is. I cant wait for the store to reopen so I can peruse through all the treasures both used and new. I don;t think I have ever walked out without buying at least 4 books.
Very orderly and clean. I came in early on a Sunday and immediately found what I was looking for (and it wasnt necessarily a common book). I was greeted when I came in, but didnt have much contact besides that with the employees. They have a large selection of magazines as well.

2022-04-13This is my go-to ace for used SF and related books. Ive literally spent hours going through the shelves of books and coming out with dozens. The only complaint I would have is that there are a LOT of books and to look through them all, including the ones behind the ones you see, can take extra time as you shift pile from one place to another. This also results in a certain lack of order among the books. Theyre grouped by categories, but not 100% in alphabetical order.Over the year Ive dropped over a grand there and thats just on books with a price range between 2.95 and 4.95.

2022-07-05Ive been coming here for nearly 40 years. Its quite an adventure to find the book youre looking for, because along the way you find something you werent looking for and its even better. Ive found many treasures here. The family that owns the place is very helpful. I like that they play classical music rather then anything thats loud and noisy. I hope that theyre around for many more years to come.

2021-12-02Holy cow! There is a lot of stuffed into this little place. This is the kind of place that you can spend hours in. Very friendly staff, and just a real treasure trove of items. Well let me take some time to find what youre looking for, its well worth it. There is a method and organization, and once you see it, youll be able to find what youre looking for. Highly recommended and I cant wait to go back.

2021-06-09Its pretty rare these days to find as good used book store. Especially in Brooklyn where rents are enormous. The owner is very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely patient. Has thousands of old and even current books. Prices are ok compared to most places and even with Amazon. But when you are in a hurry to get a few books to read right away, this place is a Gem!I do there constantly and will continue to do so.

2021-05-31This bookstore is so charming, yet so messy; so incomprehensible, yet EVERYTHING I read/collect was in one contiguous section. The stacks are super dusty, cobwebs abundant, unkempt, random piles all over, yet: its such a charming, labyrinthine shop, with hidden treasure all over. The proprietor is very friendly and enthused by the very notion that there are so many books around him, and the music of the store is done Favorite Classical Music Hits, so I CERTAINLY approve of this place.

2021-05-08Great book store. The owner is very helpful. Just tell him what type of books you want and hell show you where to find them and make recommendations of other authors. Great prices

2020-09-08Thr best bookstore in the world. Why? Because its still brick and mortar and open. I love books! I love kindle and technology but above all I am a paper person who loves his Remarkable tablet as well as the scent of a musty old book. Find a passion and believe that books are not overrated as the great Marcus Lemonis says. To me Heres a Bookstore is a testament to the hardwork of Doron and his mother and the family owned businesses including bookstores that have been disrupted by tech giants like Amazon. Needless to say I hope they thrive until 120 because my sunday ritual has been to get a few good books to delight and stimulate my mind in this trying sensitive times. Thank you Heres a Bookstore!
