I love this place. I've had so many great books suggested (and sold) to me at Nine Stories. The selection is small but well-curated; even the children's books (any brick and mortar bookstore with King Baby gets an A+). In a world dominated by Amazon, it is very nice to walk into a little shop to really enjoy books with other people. The fact that it's connected to Caffe D'Amore is a major bonus.
