Pickwick Book Shop

8 South Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960

"Good book selection, fun vibe, but the bookseller’s books are overpriced, he used fraudulent tax rates, and/or makes up prices as he goes. I got two stained old books totaling $15.50 and he said with tax, it was $19.25. (Are you for real?) Just get your books at thrift books. The bookseller here is cheap and rude."

"Great bookstore, packed floor to ceiling. Good luck if you're looking for a specific title, but great for browsing and unexpected finds. The proprietor is friendly and unhurried, nice vibes."

"If you love that very particular quaint, used book store kind of chaos/charm, this is the place for you. You know you’re in the right place when you can’t see the proprietor for the giant stack of books, and then he sort of pops up and says hello. Take someone here on your first date and gauge their reaction to it, so you’ll know if they’re right for you. Is it a safety hazard? Maybe. I personally adore a little danger when I’m looking for very specific out-of-print children’s literature. Live a little! I can’t wait to visit again, and I’m not just saying that because the owner acknowledged my cute baby."

"What a gem. The moment you enter this book store; you’re definitely in another world. You can literally smell the books! There are books everywhere! It’s a book heaven! So many great selections and deals! They also accept donations :)"

"Walking into the Pickwick Book Shop is a very unique experience and if you think you are just wandering into a typical bookstore, you’ll be in for a very big surprise. While there are many used books as well as some new ones, the store has literally floor to ceiling books, many in piles so high that you might anticipate that there could be an avalanche of poetry and prose that could at any second come crashing down on your heads! While some folks might find this overwhelming, I found it to be both fascinating and profoundly stimulating. You could easily spend hours browsing their children’s sections as well as their religion and biographies and still have plenty of opportunities to explore their fiction and nonfiction sections. This is not a bookstore for folks who might want to enjoy the cleanliness and order of your typical Barnes & Nobles but if you are up for an adventure, you should plan a visit to the Pickwick Book Shop in Nyack."
