This is a very eclectic bookstore. This seems to have everything you need in a small little space. There’s something for everyone. Definitely has many things for yourself or gifts. They have a cute way to give Amazon gift cards! I definitely recommend checking this place out when in the Time Warner Columbus Circle Center!

Its pretty fun to browse books in real life. And Amazon has the benefit of not worrying if you scan the barcode and look for the cheapest price on Amazon.com.I checked a few of the prices and they are all synced up with the Amazon prime price.

A fun stop at 59th street. The only thing that stopped me from making it purchase is my years long Amazon membership. I finally feel like I have EVERYTHING. Nothing new in the store that I havent already purchased online. I probably have 600 Kindle titles. All the same, the displays are lovely.

Very clean no long long line the only problem that I have is Amazon bookstore allows you to pick up your Amazon packages but when I send my home health aide with the pick up code, and my ID the manager there tells her that she cant retrieve my itemsIve called Amazon customer service and they told me that that that home health aide absolutely can pick them up but the manager consistently does it therefore if I could give it no stars I would theres a manager and there and shes female and shes horrible

This place has a great selection of books and allows you to buy all the books at a great discount if you have amazon prime. On my visit I bougth 6 books and my total savings where 60, so definitely worth it if you are an avid reader. Additionally they change their book selection every week, so go there often.

Nice selection and well organized for a small physical bookstore. They had your typical bestseller section, new releases and new in paperback, but they also had books organized by the most popular purchases online in various categories. Price tags had both the regular price and the discounted price for Prime customers. So Prime holders arent losing out on the discount if they visit.

Neat! Prices are not listed so you need to scan with your phone or available scanner to find out. You can pay with your amazon app as well. Cool place! Although, they could add more space and a lounge to sit and read etc.

Review №14

This is a beautiful and bright store. It is extremely well laid out and diverse in a much smaller location than one would expect. Location on the third floor of the Time Warner Center makes it not overly crowded, a huge plus. Do not expect B&N atmosphere of people sitting everywhere on the floor, a plus in this case.While most descriptions are typed, clear and accurate, minus one star for the handwritten description on one book which is entirely incorrect. (See last picture)

Nice to actually hold a book in your hand... Planning on sending some books to my Grandkids... So it is nice to actually look through the books before I order them. Plus seeing some books that I never would have know of... This was an inspiring article visit!

Nice place if you are looking for good books. You also get Amazon Prime price. Good selection of books. You can also Amazon devices at the bookstore.

Review №23

The store is aware of social distancing norms and infection control. There is a limit to how many people can visit the store at once. Once the store is at capacity, a kind greeter will ask you to wait outside until people leave. Another thing to note is that you shouldnt touch anything unless you intend to buy it.Although the selection isnt as expansive as Amazon online, the curated selection is still interesting if you havent visited a book store in a while. Great place to visit if you want to find your next read, or at least get inspiration.

Review №25

Basically, its pretty small for a bookstore, and there are only a very few limited quantity of books in stock. However because its amazon, you probably may, be able to place an order for a special book.But then, Updated because of the tremendously new effort and great initiative of Amazon to develop and create many more new jobs (especially in NYC and wherever else they may be needed in the country).Is truly a very compassionate endeavor.Therefore my own rather simplistic review, which obviously was not deeply enough analyzed, by failing to calculate all the positive acts and benefits of the leadership of Amazon.And most especially, its not my place to place judgment of the positive effects, of which some may call karma or truly heavenly blessings.Of which of course they are proving that they deserve, by their enormous work in the outstanding development of many new jobs.Evaluation; Much improved, highly recommendedAbsolutely Like 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Hopefully, actually they have placed enormous efforts to build a most compassionate company.

The store is small but nicely adjusted to it. They have the right selection for your needs. Very friendly staff and will help you discover any title or need outside of that you might have. My name is Roger Browning I am a rancher from north Texas, born and raised just twenty or so miles from that of Larry Mcmurtrys raising. It is a place that seems to stir the writers blood. I am a novelist and have written hundreds of them over a period of forty nine years or so of my lengthy life. I was born a rancher and still live the life, but writing is my love and what I have always done. I published none, until a publisher made his way down to my land to hunt the wild ferrel hog for his freezer. A publisher he was, so I asked him to look at a book that I was working on at the time. He published the one and by his request I gave him three more, while just finishing the fourth. A sequel to the first, which is there for your Amazon search. My name is Roger Browning and my novel is The Reckoning of Rance. A book about a troubled ranching family of modern day Texas and how both ways of their inheritance had made them that way. A story of dysfunction, greed and great love, as only one that comes from the life might see, but a story most can relate as it could represent and relate to anyone of any setting change, even a Manhattan high rise family as well. Look it up. My name is Roger Browning. Author of The Reckoning of Rance. I hope you enjoy the book. Check it out on Amazon.

Its a bookstore in the loosest sense of a word. It sells books. The sterile nature of the store is stifling and not at all pleasant to shop in. It also lacks the vast backstock that Barnes & Noble carries. If Im going to order off of Amazon Ill do it from the comfort of my couch.

Small bookstore. Well organized but only popular and current books. Kind of like an airport bookstore, the selections are very travel friendly.3 stars because you cannot pay with cash at all which is pretty silly that it’s impossible to pay with cash. I tried.Barbara D works in amazon and when amazon announced that they were going to start amazon books she was depressed because amazon already has a lot of companies.

The way it is organized is great. Love that every book has ratings. Prices are good (if you are a Prime member you pay Amazon’s price). It does not have as many books as a Barnes & Noble, but the books they have are well known and well rated.

It feels like the only thing Ive read in recent memory are push notifications or GPS directions (does that even count?) Anyway Im simply saying that its really refreshing to be an actual book store the grasp of knowledge or on the receiving edge of a paper cut! This store is rather small but in a good not over whelming way, and bit cozy in a retail kinda way (theres even a chair) and new releases and bestsellers are easy to find. Give it look-see..

A very modern place with organized reviews. Its not too large and not too small. However, there are a few classics that cant be found here. Overall, it is a wonderful place to buy your books.

Very easy to browse for books and find reading inspiration at this store. The collection is curated from the most popular and highest reviewed books on Amazon.com. If you are a Prime member, the discounts are as good as online (often 50% off). I always find something interesting when I come in.

Good customer service, very clean store. You would think that Amazon is only online but that store is like browsing online books in 3DThey did not remove the feel of classic bookstore as well though. You can relax and take your time looking through a everything.Touch of modern to the well liked classic.

Not a digital fan of Amazon but my 3 years in New York saw me here more than any other place. At the heart of Manhattan by the central park, this place is always accessible and given Amazon’s tech and analytics you end up finding every book you maybe looking for.My absolute happy place. Love going here and whiling time and returning with a new book every single time!I usually limit myself to rating only those places I can give 5 stars to and this one makes it to the list rather easily! I however do not order fromAmazon online

This is a nice store in Time Warner on Columbus Circle. There are not so many book stores in the city anymore. I go often there, just to remind myself on a old fashioned way of reading. They sell electronic readers, too. It is a nice place. There is a seating area for kids on the back of the restaurant.

Outstanding service from start to finish. I bought a Fire HD 10 Kids Edition (10”) when no one else had it. Everyone was helpful.Also, I want to apologize to the cashier for using the phrase, “You guys,” when asking if they take cash. It’s a part of my vernacular that I would like to remove.She was very kind and helpful, nonetheless.

Small place, not a good selection of books really... Amazon started years ago as a good online bookseller where you could find almost any title you searched for. Now its a total different thing. In this store at least, just a few sections with just trendy books.

Its like the best of the best books. Always great for finding new reads. Unfortunately if you want to get deep into a subject, its just not possible as they dont have the space to carry the full scope of titles. So youre stuck going to a Barnes & Noble or online.

Review №75

Current best selling books, and suggestions for Book Clubs selections.They also offer a large selection of childrens books and creative games.Anyone is welcome to shop here and they automatically discount Amazon Prime members. They also offer some technology items. The store is automated, but there are many helpful clerks to assist

Review №76

I use this small store as a return center for when I ordered the wrong size of clothes, etc. There are almost always few people here, so service is quick.The actual book store concept is weird: it presumably has Amazons best selling books, but no price on a single one of them! Sure I could look it up, or probably it integrates with an app, but thats just a nope from me.

Jo
Review №77

Its a very clean looking store. The shelves are stocked with different kinds of products (not just books). The only reason why I give it only 4 stars is because it would help if the prices are also on the shelf labels instead of going to the counter or the scanning kiosk just to find out. Otherwise, all good.

Review №78

Amazon books has the feel of Borders, the book and media store chain that went out of business a few years ago. This isnt a bad thing though, it helps to partially fill the hole Borders left behind, while it doesnt have the community aspect it does fulfill the the easy access to a wife variety of books, and great gift ideas that not to mention nifty items and tech you might not need but definitely want. The most unique aspect is there pricing system, the items in the store dont have listed prices, they cost whatever they cost on Amazon that day, and if youre a prime member prime exclusive pricing is applied if available. Its an interesting look at the future of retail.

So many books. Many different topics. I loved how the books were laid out. Each book, or at least most, had a commentary displayed from another reader. It made me pick up several books that I probably would have overlooked.

Very commercial with it options and the staff members seemed to be more into there coversation then ringing me up. Didnt even acknowledge me as she cashed out my stuff. I like Barns and nobles and once upon a time borders the staff their were true lovers of books and not just pushing product. If I want a new kindle I will go to the store.
