  Amazing place. You can tell the collection they have here is truly curated (a word that gets thrown around too much now, but for Mast Books the word fits perfectly). Even the books that are clearly used are in amazing condition and many have clear dust jackets to protect them from damage.

  The only reason it gets any stars at all is bc the guy behind the counter was pretty nice for letting us touch every book w/o getting nasty. But he also only said bye when we left, no acknowledgement when we entered however. We understand its a book store in the middle of the universe but these guys could take 1 more step and say hi when you walk in at least.

  I told the proprietor yesterday that he has the perfect bookstore for me. It's important to note that it's not an average shop - the selection is highly curated - yet stunning. All killer no filler. Incredible selection of poetry, art books, music books, rare stuff, signed copies, great NYC-centric 20th century stuff - just SO GOOD. If any of that interests you (or could), please visit and spend tons of $. I know I will every time I'm in the area.

  Beautiful, beautiful inspiring books about anything – good selection of beautiful printed items on poetry, film, the arts. Bright space.

  Art books, artsy books, books on art, books you feel like you'd see an artist reading on the subway or maybe on their bookshelf, and if you wander "where do these artists get all these cool books?" ... then you're in luck! The photography and art publications are new and forward, while the various theory/philosophy sections are appropriately conservative, with a variety of classics and interesting oddities alike.
