Book Thug Nation in Williamsburg. Lots of great literature. When you first walk in there's a table with like $6 Ulysses, $6 Dostoevskys, $6 Moby Dicks, and other legit classics, no bullshit Harry Potter books. Found $1 Homer and Dickens on their outside shelves. They had like 5 copies of the Morrissey Autobiography - more than any other store in NYC combined. Great philosophy and poetry selections. I even found a copy of My Belief by Hesse (a $60 book on Amazon) for like $8 here. The staff is pretty cool. I'm pretty sure they hate hipsters so that's great. They're not up their own ass SJWs "yaaassssss queeeeen a well read woman is a dangerous creature" pieces of shit like Strand and most other bookstores in NYC.

Williamsburg sounds like both the best and worst place ever to live.

>>12473587
That's a fair assessment

the stockholm one is nice, but the classics section keeps getting smaller everytime i go

>>12473605
Yeah, the one in Uppsala is heaps better (was nominated the worlds best bookstore last year or the year before tthat, srs), and i live in Stockholm as well.

>>12473620
they actually did win the bookshop of the year award last year. they hold reading groups with some nice classics sometime, have you ever gone to one?

>>12473655
No, but i'm moving to Uppsala this summer, so maybe i can bike down there sometime when thats being held. Thanks for the tips

is this supposed to be a good thing ?

>>12473482
Has to be the worst name for a book store I've seen. How many readers would identify as thugs?

>>12472437
What's so good about it? I've only been there once but it seemed pretty small and normal. Is the staff really cool or something?

I've only recently started to discover all the great used bookstores in Stockholm. Rönnels and Alfa in particular are so cozy.

>I support my local bookshop
>I am emotionally invested in the survival of a business of which I am a customer
How do you allow capitalism to cuck you this badly?

>>12473771

>>12473785

If any of you boys happen to be in Grass Valley CA, check out "Book Town". This place is a Co-op of 14 different booksellers. So there are 14 different little sectioned areas where you can see that specific person's tastes and interests. So it has the selection of a large bookstore, but it's more like experiencing many small heavily curated stores. It's a store that actually focuses on the exploration of the books, one of the things that is still vastly superior in physical sellers.

>>12473817
Because it isn't capitalism.

>>12474141
Tfw america has the best bookshops

Where do you get your books from, my guy?

>>12474169
I'm not your guy, pal.

Also I'm an idiot and said Grass Valley when there main store is in Nevada City (yeah, Nevada City is the county seat of Nevada County in California).

>>12474148
Capitalism is only bad once it gets to the large, corporate level. You should support small businesses

Atmosphere wise? Subun-so Book Shop and Kitazawa Bookstore.
Today I went to Subun-so and bought 6 books and Tolkien and Lewis.

If someone gives me a loan I'll start a /lit/ bookstore

>>12474202
So they too can become corporations?

The Book House before they were forced to relocate by redevelopers

Smith's in Christchurch before they lost their entire stock in the earthquakes

Biggest bookshop in europe, lille France

Rönnells in Stockholm is great. My friend and I pretty much bought their whole section on Rene Guenon.

>>12474604
Hedengrens is alright as well
