This was a very cute and, dare I say, quirky store. I liked the curated selection of books they offered. I think it would be nice to have a larger selection of cards — the ones there were nice but it wouldn’t take too much space to add some more!

Received two books from here as a birthday gift and exchanged one of them.(I already had the new Miranda July shhhh don’t tell my friend) It was easy enough to do and now I have a credit and will be returning.

I am so completely enamored with this shop. In fact, the only downside its going going for it is the unfortunate fact that I can’t claim it as my own neighborhood shop. But even that’s on me, not on them. :) The atmosphere is utterly charming, the staff is friendly, and they’ve got a great collection of work from NYC’s best illustrators adorning the walls. They also overlook a completely adorable back garden which looks oh-so-lovely in the snow. Given the well-curated assortment of children’s and young adult literature, I’d even go so far to say that this shop is the closest I’ve found to «The Shop Around the Corner» of «You’ve Got Mail» fame — if if it’s nowhere near the UWS.

It’s important to support local stores. I mean who wants to live in a world ruled by Amazon? But this store makes it hard. Cutesy, pricey, useless stuff with a few books. And the sales person was just too aloof for words. Good place to avoid.

I thought the store was really cute and had great books and artwork, but the salesperson was not interested in saying«Hello» or «May I help you find something?». We were the only people in the store. I thought a small boutique bookstore was supposed to separate themselves from the Barns and Nobles’ of the world.

I love this sweet little bookstore and their wonderfully curated selection of kids books especially. I’m so grateful that they are in the neighborhood, especially when I need to buy a last minute gift! My only hesitation about this place is that the last few times I’ve been in there the staff has been aloof and not super friendly, making me want to spend much less time in the store.

This is a great place for people who love books. There are other places that have more books in store — but the books they have here are really amazing. Best of all, if you want to discuss books with the staff, this is the right place.

This is a small store and it doesn’t have a very extensive selection, but the interior is very cozy and attractive(it has a beautiful pressed tin ceiling & exposed brick walls in the main/larger section, a smaller/nice children’s book section in the back, and large windows looking out on the street). The two young women working there today were pleasant.

Powerhouse on 8th is unbelievably cute. I went in here on a whim, but ended up spending about 30 minutes looking through all of their super cute letterpress cards and journals. This is definitely not your average bookstore. I wouldn’t go in here to try to find something specific, but it’s a great place to browse and pick up something nice for yourself or for a friend. They have an especially cute and well-curated children’s section that I appreciated as an elementary school teacher and general lover of books. The atmosphere here is such that I almost wish that they sold coffee so I could linger for longer.
