Unnameable Books

The lighting, classical music, and quality of the used books all combined is like baking a slam dunk of a cake. I’d imagine unnameable as a custardy berry layered cake with whipped topping and lemon zest

Lovely little bookshop in Brooklyn, great selection of used books, different genres, both fiction and non-fiction. Very well organized and easy to browse through. The 1-3$ book carts outside are always full of nice surprises, make sure to not skip them.

Unnameable Books probably has the best selection of used philosophy books in Brooklyn. The collection takes up a couple shelves and leans towards continental and Marxist philosophy. There are also other sections with revolutionary texts. The prices are best described as fair, but I didn’t find any incredible deals. The store’s collection of literary fiction is also notable and curated as well as the philosophy section. Check out the Spanish language section as well, which was full of International Publishers titles when I visited—something you don’t see every day.

One of the best used bookstores in New York, and in a great new spot attracting more readers than ever. Titles cater to politically and socially mindful, with great strengths in fiction, history, philosophy, and academic disciplines. Carts outside have some gems priced to go. Most of the stuff is quite reasonably priced, too. A solid selection of new books as well. I’m a super happy long-time patron because there’s always something new there, some title I’ve never heard of - definitely go for a browse before or after hitting up Ample Hills or Soda Bar across the street!

Cute bookstore on Vanderbilt Avenue! There is a good variety of books such as philosophy, art history, fiction, etc. I mostly looked at classic children's books. I saw several early editions of Alice in Wonderland. Poetry seemed to be favored since there was one section dedicated to it! I also peeped at the open backyard, which seemed to be set up for events. It did feel a bit crowded when there were more than five people moving around to explore!

Wonderful used bookstore in Brooklyn. I was particularly excited to see that apart from the usual fiction and nonfiction sections, there was also a shelf with books about spirituality/occultism 💜

A pure joy to have such an exquisite book shop in the Prospect Heights neighborhood. The selection is excellent, a book browser’s paradise. I can’t express my thanks enough to the owners of this bookstore keeping the tradition of antiquarian and used books alive and thriving. Do visit. All COVID-19 measures in place.
