Desert Island

Tucked into Connecticut's Farmington Valley, this independent bookshop stocks roughly 8,000 titles across nearly every subject you can imagine. You'll find everything from yesterday's paperbacks to rare volumes that have been turning pages for two centuries. The mix keeps regulars coming back—collectors hunting first editions sit shoulder to shoulder with casual browsers grabbing the latest reads. Winter visits have a particular charm, with the shop's quiet corners offering the perfect escape from cold days outside, the kind of place where losing track of time feels inevitable.

And more than 120 years later, we’ve gradually grown into what we are now...the largest Christian bookstore in the Tri-State metropolitan New York City area, with over 40,000 product titles and 15,000 square feet of space! We're one large superstore, selling Bibles, books, CD's videos and tapes, Spanish language, children's literature, gift and apparel items, and much more.

Selling used and rare books since 1948, Whitlock's Book Barn is located just minutes from downtown New Haven and Yale University. The store operates from two weatherbeaten barns sitting amid a scenic pasture.<br> For decades, buyers and sellers of used books, old maps, and ephemera have come to Whitlock's looking for intellectual adventure. With these pages, the store now offers a selection of items online, making it possible for those unable to visit to take advantage of the store's unusual finds and bargains.

TASCHEN is happy to announce the opening of our second store in Los Angeles at the historic Farmers Market. This store follows the opening of Beverly Hills location in 2003.

Philippe Starck has designed the space – as he has done with all TASCHEN Stores in New York, Paris, and Beverly Hills.

Walk past the front windows on a crisp winter afternoon and you'll spot two inviting chairs bathed in warm light—a quiet counterargument to the cookie-cutter retail landscape that dominated the 1970s. This independent shop predates the museum next door by several years, having launched back in 1976 with interiors that echo the distinctive white oak character Jay Bright drew from the museum's iconic Louis Kahn architecture. The custom-built shelving and thoughtfully curated fixtures were deliberate choices that set the tone from day one. When a neighboring cheese operation closed in 1980, the owners seized the opportunity to expand into that space, creating a more generous experience for browsing and lingering—the kind of place that feels especially welcoming when you need refuge from the cold.

The ranks of New Haven's used bookstores have thinned a little in recent years: Whitlock's on Broadway is gone, so too is the fine Elm City Books, which had a good run on York Street a few years back. But even if those stores were still around, the Book Trader would be a worthy winner of this category. And even if you couldn't buy a delicious sandwich or muffin here, it would still be a major destination for book lovers. The key is selectivity. The shelves are not weighted down by mediocrity, but rather lifted up by good stuff. Some of it is obvious: You'll get your Ian McEwan, your Kazuo Ishiguro, your Jonathan Spence. Some of it is more obscure: Sitting on shelves in recent weeks has been a first edition of John Ashbery's hard-to-find novel, which he co-authored with James Schuyler. And you can also buy a good paperback mystery or sci-fi adventure.

An online/mail-order bookdealer located in Downtown Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood. We have been dealing in books since 1995 and living happily in Fort Greene since 1972.<br> Downtown Brooklyn is a fascinating place with a wealth of historical and cultural interest. It was the focal point of the Battle of Brooklyn (or, as some have it, the Battle of Long Island) and the departure point of Washington's famous retreat that saved American forces. The landmark Martyrs' Monument., which honors the more than 10,000 victims of British prison ships during the War for Independence sits in Fort Greene Park at the end of our street. At the other end of our street each November the runners in the New York City Marathon will pass along Lafayette Avenue. A bit further down Lafayette Avenue is BAM, the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Fort Greene is and has long been home to numerous artists and musicians.

Browsing through the aisles here feels like stepping into a corner of literary history that's weathered more than five decades in Washington Depot. Whether you're hunting down a specific spine or wandering in hopes of stumbling onto something you didn't know you needed, the crew behind the counter brings over a century of combined book knowledge to the table. Winter visits have their own charm—the shop becomes a cozy refuge when the Connecticut chill sets in outside. Beyond just selling books, they keep things lively with author events, curate recommendations from what their team is actually reading, and stock plenty of titles from regional writers. It's the kind of place where the people genuinely know their inventory and love talking about it.

Tucked inside Newtown's historic train station since 1989, this comic destination occupies a soaring space with 14-foot ceilings that create an airy, welcoming atmosphere. On a grey winter afternoon, the tall windows flood the shop with soft light, making it an inviting refuge for browsing. The team genuinely enjoys helping both newcomers picking up their first issue and seasoned collectors hunting for their next find, approaching every customer interaction as a chance to make things memorable. The vintage bones of the old building pair perfectly with the modern passion for comics, creating a spot where conversation flows as naturally as the open floor plan suggests.
