They're mean and will try to scam u. Dont sell your books here, they completely rip you off. However the selection of books u can buy is pretty good. A little pricey
I try very hard to patronize local book stores. I know how hard it is for them to survive in an Amazon world. However the customer service I experienced while I was at East Village Books makes me think theyre already one foot out the door. I arrived here because someone at Strand recommended I try it to find a specific book I was looking for. I would also like the mention that the person at Strand also offered to call Barnes and Noble for me when we found out they didnt have what i was looking for, but i declined in favor of a local store. When I arrived at East Village Books, I told the man behind the counter that I was looking for a specific translation of The Iliad. He pointed me to a general area of shelves, about 15 feet long and from the floor up 2 shelves. At 7 months pregnant its not easy crawling around on the floor, so when it became apparent that the books were in no order (i saw different copies of the Iliad 10 feet apart) I asked for some additional assistance, but he declined, confirming they were in no order. When I questioned if there was someone else who could help with this request he said no. I said that I expected better customer service and he replied, this is the customer service. This pregnant lady waddled back to the subway empty handed, not even knowing if they had what I was looking for, and certainly bummed to shop online. For everyone thinking about going here, please start with Strand and Alabaster Bookshop - both nearby - in todays difficult environment, these are the stores that should survive.
