The Dusty Bookshelf - Manhattan

I used to frequent it years ago, but on a recent trip to Manhattan we went by there. There was a fire and the store changed but still they a good selection of books for decent prices. I would recommend just going by.

A fun and inviting place to browse for a great book!

An old classic--the books and the store itself. Now serving coffee in it's classic setting. I brought a box of books in and got the options of: $85 store credit, $40 cash or 60 books. I took the cash and donated the remaining books they didn't buy. A nice place to donate, sell and buy books as well as sit and read. Great atmosphere as well.

What’s better than a bookstore that’s well-lit, sells new and used books, has good seating and a cafe in it, honestly. I was pretty sold on the concept, but then became even more of a fan when the barista blessed my taste buds. The coffee was so good!

Highly recommend visiting while here - grab a book, a coffee, and seat.

My biggest complaint with the rework of a beloved Manhattan business is that it seems like it's now less about being a bookstore and more about being a hangout spot. It makes sense, the local book store scene isn't exactly doing great across the nation, but it's sad to be so crowded with much less in terms of the dusty used books I used to love to find here. I'll always love this store which I grew up frequenting, but change is hard.

Such a comfortable place to visit, relax, and read a book in Manhattan. The setup is beautiful, the coffee is phenomenal, and the folks that work here are SO kind and helpful. Love this place so much. Person with the sick arm tats and mohawk makes a DANG GOOD coffee! Love this place

Great to see it reopen! Love all the changes/ additions made and being made, restrooms for starters! I like the mix of new books, selective but cool mix. And I hey, coffee can never be too close at hand....now if I can find that book I was looking for and get my grand daughter off the couch upstairs so I can relax maybe....

Great selection of books, friendly staff, and they're working on being fully functional again following the fire!

Unique place to browse for books. And get a cup of coffee.

This is a nice cozy place with used books in reasonable condition. I thought these books were reasonably priced. They now have an option for contactless payment, I'm going to revisit the Dusty Bookshelf whenever I want some used books.
