Guide Review
If you're of the bookish persuasion, Word Bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, is the place for you. The store is expertly curated, with titles ranging from the best of Brooklyn and other indie authors to the Twilight series.
Word is not just a bookstore - they throw book parties for the local authors they feature, and host other events like a literary singles matchmaking party and Prom. The staff at Word could not be nicer - they are very friendly and eager to help, so do not hesitate to ask. If the title you're looking for isn't in stock, they will gladly order it for you and you can pick it up in store. Word is a great place to shop for gifts all year round, and you can feel good about supporting an independent, community bookstore. Not to mention you're already on Franklin Street - walk up a few blocks for more great shopping.
