Literally my favorite bookstore in the city—I’ve been coming here for over ten years, and I always get the best recommendations. Highly recommend if you’re interested in literary fiction (especially in translation), poetry, and art books. Really good selection of urban planning / social theory, too!
Perfectly curated bookstore, the selections were like shopping my own bookshelves. Just don’t expect much of the typical NY snobby staff and list book prices.
We visited 192 Books on a rainy day, both struggling existentially, to wrap ourselves around the previous evening’s sadnesses. We found ourselves completely delighted in the haven of fantastically curated books. Frenetically searched the shelves and stopped at nearly every one to discuss the works of Walter Benjamin, Adorno (they had a copy of Minima Moralia which I had been searching for, for ages!) Pasolini’s adaptations of films in novel form, etc. We each picked out books for eachother. Much love to this place!
CHELSEA, NY - What a cozy little haven in the midst of the bustling city! This charming bookstore may be small, but it offers a peaceful atmosphere and a delightful selection of books. After a long walk through the city, I found it quite lovely to take a break, sit down, and browse through some captivating titles. I even stumbled upon a book of poetry by Wislawa Szymborska, which I couldn't resist bringing home. I highly recommend stopping by to discover a new literary gem and to show your support for this wonderful space.

Despite its size, this bookstore boasts an impressive collection of books. Their curator clearly has impeccable taste, and the store serves the Chelsea community exceptionally well. It's truly a fabulous bookstore.
A great neighborhood bookstore that has a great and well-curated selection of books. My favorite is that they have an entire table/section of translated works which are often of international acclaim but not to be found many places in the States.
Friendly staff. Gorgeous building. Really a wonderful place to stop in.
