New York is one of the world’s great literary cities. Writers, publishers, poets and readers have long been drawn to the city. And there’s always something happening, from author readings and book launches to literary festivals and events. Of course, New York has an extraordinary collection of bookshops. So, if you’re a reader visiting New York, consider yourself lucky: you’re in literary heaven. But, the big question is, where are the best book shops in New York City<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the big-name booksellers, the city is packed with independent and specialist shops. From stores devoted to cookbooks, art and design to those specialising in mysteries, rare books, French literature and contemporary fiction. Some are literary institutions in their own right; others are small neighbourhood nooks where you can stumble across an unexpected gem. Both types often involve great recommendations from a knowledgeable bookseller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
