The Saint Marks Bookstore is a cute little bookstore just steps from Saint Marks Place. Even though it's no where near as big as say Barnes and Noble, you can spend hours in this bookstore. They have a wonderful collection of self-published work and the most up-to-date section of art and photography books. The most modern and hip fiction books are right up front so there's no need to go wandering around if you're just looking for a good new read. I love the strange postcards in the back of the store.
