KK (KKNewYorkCity):

"I Love this place. They have a lot of great events for kids. If you are looking for suggestions, the people who work here are knowledgeable about children's books. They make great suggestions and we have definitely discovered many new favorites from them. I purchase a lot of their books as birthday gifts for my son's classmates."

"Such a fun little bookstore! It's literature is aimed at young readers, babies to teens. None of that mainstream, licensed character material here. Walls are stacked high with bookcases. Posters and book artwork on display are for sale. An employee mentioned they hold many events. She was very happy to discuss with my kids the kinds of books they like to read and offered suggestions. Dog friendly!"

"Went there today with my 8 year old and the ladies are so nice and kind. I love the new space on 17th from when it was on 18th street as it seems the inventory is more vast than before. My daughter was so happy with her selections and can't wait to come back"

"I love supporting independent bookstores because of its unique book selections and offers supported by authors and oublishing houses...and BOW is no exception! I have purchased via online and branch visits (finally). Communication is seamless and easy - online and off. They give great book recommendations and have wonderful visiting authors. The shop has ample seating to help you review books before purchase. They also have rare book sets, limited edition posters, etc. The staff are nice, respectful and lovely. I cannot wait for my next book order, BOW!"
