Coliseum Books is a true blue local bookstore that just happens to be right across the street from the New York Public Library. If memory serves me, it use to be much closer to the New York Coliseum (which was torn down for the Time/AOL building) , but its current location makes a lot of sense. Coliseum Bookstore is centrally located and has a huge selection of books to choose from. It is a genuine alternative to the mega-chain stores and is convenient from practically everywhere.
