Bauman Rare Books: what do users think?

Liudvika Davidonite: Consistently excellent selection of incredibly rare books, and the staff is warm and gracious. A true gem!

Jose R: It is a unique place, a very exclusive bookstore with very special books. First editions of important books. Everything is spotless, luxury is breathed and it is very interesting to visit.

Gerald King: Beautiful bookstore. They have a huge selection.

Nick Taber: Huge amount of respect for this place. I went here when I was a kid. They were far more gracious and sharing to me off the street than the special collections section of my university library. Very non-elitist despite selling things that are very expensive. No snooty attitude, just passion for what they do. They let me look through incredible books, handle them - even though I had no intention of buying them. Amazing service this place does. Thank you and keep it up.

erin wagnon: Very unique book shop and very pricey!

Vanessa Prieto Sandoval: Enter with curiosity and the truth is a surprising place for lovers of reading

Claire H: An amazing place to get lost in

Brandon Wang: Very helpful staff, was able to access and view many signed editions from some of my favorite authors. Would come again!

Danielle Keener: Not the types of books to peruse and handle physically but if you are looking for something specific their catalog is extensive. The young lady and man were very nice and present. Elegant shop

Mia lopez: i just wanted to know if its okay to read inside and also if your hiring?

Phurba Sherpa: Nice Place

Aman Mishra: Best book store where every type of books are available here. If you want rare books like ancient and historical books, you can contact the owner directly . If those books are available at that time , he will manage and give you that rare book but if any book is not available there, you can visit some other stores.. 👍👍

Graeme Littler: Always and amazing store to drop in on. Amazing rare books right before your eyes.

Brent L: Collectors only. I'm serious.

Zachary S: Weird Book shop. Very fancy selection of autographs and rare books. You gotta have $ to get these though!

Adam Weinberger Rare Books: what do users think?

Michael DiRuggiero: Adam has great knowledge on a wide variety of subjects and has a well-earned reputation for his honesty.

Traveling Account: Fair minded, straightforward dealer. He does what he says and says what he does. Sold a fine art portfolio to him, the process was transparent and went exactly as described. He responds quickly to inquiries and emails. I wouldn’t hesitate to send friends and associates to buy or sell from him. In a business based on trust, a great choice.

Guy Eisdorfer: Was searching for a rare book dealer in NYC while on vacation. I brought in several old Hebrew Books which were not valuable enough, but I appreciated the time Adam spent explaining what they were despite the fact they were clearly not for him. His gallery is a small old school style storehouse of treasures. It is also located in a building that houses a lot of interesting dealers worthy of a visit.

Barbara King: Absolutely amazing experience with Adam. He is a true professional who is not only knowledgeable but willing to share his expertise in the rare book venue. Adam purchased a rare book that was in my mother’s collection and made the process seamless. In addition, he is most kind in his guidance with regard to other books in our possession. I highly recommend Adam for all your rare book needs. I certainly will be a “repeat customer!”

Sharon Hwang: Old school treasure trove of books. I brought Adam some books to evaluate and they were not valuable enough to purchase, but I really appreciated the time he spent with me. Best to make an appt just in case; I popped in without one once and had to come back when he was there.

Adam N: Down-to-earth, friendly, and very knowledgeable rare book seller willing to spend his time with people. Has a large number of rare booktreasures that is quite rare to come across anywhere else.

Daniele Cernoia: Always impressed with the wide selection of rare books available as well as the erudition, connoisseurship and guidance of the owner.

Argosy Book Store: what do users think?

Michael A: What can I possibly say about this oasis of the past? I am blown away by how much history can be confined into one place. Their book selection, their hospitality, the prints, the lithographs, the maps, the autographs, I can go on and on. I am an avid local amateur historian and public school teacher, I've bought two precious items from this establishment in the past few years. I bought a 1864 map of all NYC public schools and a beautiful lithograph print of Boss Tweed. Laura Ten Eyck was fantastic and helped me frame my NYC public schools map. This place is a must visit if you are a local or a tourist visiting NYC. However, I would argue this place is not a tourist attraction or a random book store. I find it to be almost a sacred vessel of the past. So much to see and purchase.

Victor Romero: Nice place

Eric Dunavant: Amazing collection of rare and used books. Wish we would have had more time.

Yohana Defrita Rufikasari: The best place to find antique book! Worth price and lovely ambience!

ANONYMOUS K: I would recommend this store for anyone who is interested in antique books, or maps. The history behind these books is astonishing. The condition of the books and the store is also very helpful. Everything is maintained in order and clean. The staff also know their stuff. It's so aesthetically pleasing, I could stay here all day! Obviously because of the age and what it has most likely taken to maintain it all, the prices were somewhat high. But to be honest, I would buy them all, if I could. If you want to explore books, and be amazed at its history, come to Argosy!

A B: Visited this beautiful timepiece of New York history recently and it absolutely did not disappoint. The vintage prints and books are well taken care of and I could spend hours just browsing there. I had heard great reviews about the staff, and am happy to say that they are helpful and knowledgeable. One young woman, Erika, was particularly helpful and bubbly. She made my experience joyful and memorable. I look forward to coming back someday!

Lisa Kretschman: I could get lost in here for hours…. This place is a gem from a bygone era.

Ursus Books & Gallery: what do users think?

S. N. Thomas: A mere shadow of its former self, now withered down to a few small shelves of books on mainly modernist artists. Although the other many books still are in stock, they're in a warehouse for online ordering only. Staff is pleasant but the place is tiny and browsing experience is just not the same. Still worth a visit if art book stores are your thing

Basil: A must go if you are into artbooks

Alex Ward: Amazing bookstore in the heart of the Upper East Side!

Jason Hose: This used to be one of my favorite New York City used art bookstore that was my "go to" place. Their new location however is not wheelchair accessible. You must go down 4 to 5 steep stairs to get in. The doorman said he was all by himself and was reluctant to help. Then someone that works in the store came out and offered help, but its just not practical to be carried down stairs backwards if your in a wheelchair. While I could just buy online via their website and catalog I still like to browse artist monographs the old fashioned way. Too bad, because I was ready to drop several thousand dollars today. I'll just take my $$$ to the rare book floor at the Strand where Cathy bends over backwards and knows my collecting and acquisition priorities. You get a lot less attitude and are treated more compassionately at the Strand.

Westsider Rare & Used Books Inc.: what do users think?

Petite Mort Nur: Young, pretentious, purple haired, and blonde booksellers. Apparently these booksellers don’t want people who are interested in rare out of print items such as Tarot cards. These children asked me for my bag and threw it on the floor next to their feet. Other customers in front and behind me with bags did not have their bag taken. Two minutes later I discovered they didn’t have what I was looking for but before I left, I thought I would ask. When I asked about used tarot cards, they responded, “We don’t do Tarot here,” in the voice of lumpy space princess from Adventure Time. Yes it was that annoying. Apparently this store prefers customers who are bland elitist and out of touch yuppies. They definitely were rude and I don’t care what their excuse was.

Mickey van der Stap: Beautiful little bookshop. I was a bit in a hurry, which you should never be if you're looking for a good book, but the place was very homely, prices where good and there was a good selection of books.

STACE: Stopped by this cute book shop during my stay in NYC. The employees are friendly and helpful for the most part. The prices are in the upper-mid range, but that’s expected especially in a city like NYC. Would much rather support a smaller local bookstore like this one than somewhere like B&N. Will come by next time if I’m around the area.

Antikvariat PRAZSKY ALMANACH: Excellent selection of rare books.

Caitlin Smith: Small, unassuming used bookstore with a surprisingly appealing offering of books. It’s a wonderful place to uncover new favorite books.

Jasmine De La Cruz: Was not a good vibe at all. Smelled incredibly like books but staff wasn't friendly and the space was too small for my plus sized self.

Althea Ross: Prices were great, books were quality, and it was very quiet which I appreciated. It's a tight squeeze, so don't plan to bring strollers, etc inside.

Esther Ko: Got a cute old edition of Pride and Prejudice from the store! They have a wide range of collections and sell used books for ~$5. Great place to find good reads, especially if you’re not looking to spend $25 on a book.

max tang: I have been to this book store twice now. The first time was perfect with respectful and polite staff, the second time not so much. The staff were rude and unhelpful. My friend was having a glance for his fathers book collection in the upstairs rare book section when we were interrupted by an employee who rudely told us to leave. He rudely pointed at the stairs indicating we had to leave. My friend was of colour and i’m not sure if that had anything to do with it. Nevertheless, my friend posted a review saying we were kicked out for no reason and what i’m assuming was the same employee replied, quite arrogantly, that kids aren’t allowed in the upstairs section, and that it was closed on sundays. This makes no sense as there were other people on the upstairs section and i have been before and haven’t been denied access to this section due to my age. The bookstore had a good selection but i was very unhappy with the staff, hopefully this can change. Following is a personal message for the man that kicked us out: Dear sir, arrogance and rudeness will lead you nowhere in life, perhaps this attitude is the reason you work in a bookstore, in future, i hope you realise the wrongs of your ways and aim to change them. I have seen that this isn’t a one off as i have seen reviews in the dozens complaining about staff rudeness. I apologise to all the kind staff and the kind woman that served me upon my first visit to this bookstore and i hope you don’t have to deal with such arrogance for longer. All in all, visiting this bookstore isn’t worth it as there is a better one just 1 block down the road. PS: Notice how the majority of 1 star reviews are complaining about the owner. Please, if you see an old man with gray hair working whilst you’re about to enter, don’t bother.

Arjan Samrai: Rude employee: kicked me out of rare book section for looking around

Hafiz Waleed Hussain: Nice

Sanjana Kaicker: Rude staff, high pricesI popped into this store for a second, as I was interested in buying an English–French dictionary. I was a little confused about the pricing since there was a sign outside the door and I wasn’t sure what it referred to. I politely asked about the price since it seemed a little high for a used book and received a very rude response. Never giving them business; they hardly deserve it.

stephen parise: . So I requested a refund, which I received. All good.A few weeks later, I saw the book I had ordered was for sale again from this place. I wrote and asked is it was indeed the same book and was sent a reply quickly. I then asked for a discount since the mishap the first time. The person who responded wrote that if only I had waited to receive the book instead of opting for a refund, I would have the book by now.**Note** There was no indication I would ever receive the book, which is why I asked for a refund.No matter how much I would like to buy the book, I will search onward.Their customer service seriously needs to change.I get they're New Yorkers and all that and have to have a certain attitude, but I'm from NY too, and I would not write such a snotty response.For shame!

Filip Oliver Tv: Good prices we paid only 1$ for outside books and variety of options inside the shop as well
