The Dusty Bookshelf - Manhattan

Staff was excellent. Store is well maintained and the layout was really cool. Books are sorted fairly well. There were a few hard to find and pricier books available too. Comic books and trade paperbacks were basically non-existant with only two small stacks available.

The Dusty Bookshelf has a great selection of new and used books. If they don’t have it they can order it for you. Good people helping you find good books while supporting local.

I miss the cat. It's a different feel for sure. Definitely a little more streamlined and I like the option to buy new books. I do miss the feel of how it used to be but it's a solid restart for a business that had to start over after the fire a couple years ago. But mostly I just miss the cat.

I enjoyed myself, It was a nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly! I found a book I’d never thought I’d find a book that I wanted but would find in any bookstore. I guess that’s the magic of your locality!

The Dusty Bookshelf has a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere and a very knowledgeable and helpful staff. It is a fantastic book store for purchasing both new and used books as well as a great place for studying or simply reading.

This morning, I happily bought my first Dusty book since our longtime favorite bookstore re-opened. So good to see them rise from the ashes. I needed a special book on very short notice -- I'm headed out of the country day after tomorrow and I must take it with me. An hour after making a phone call to Dusty Bookshelf, I was in the store choosing between two different editions. Both hardbacks. One new at $24.95, one used at $3.95. Try to match that with an online bookseller!

I went in there looking for a hard to find book. I tend to come up with those tough situations for some reason. They didn't have it (sociology text), but they had plenty of other books for sale. This is a cozy little spot, a few comfy chairs, and even a cat that mostly just hangs out asleep by the door. Staff was friendly, helpful. I'm not giving five stars because some people are allergic to cats and that may not sit well with some. To me, I thought it was fine.

Great place! Staff is helpful and you can grab a latte and read a book! The best of both worlds! They have seating areas and comfortable places to get lost in a book.

So glad to see Dusty bookshelf back and even better after the fire 2 years ago. Kudos to you for coming back stronger, adding coffee & a loft! Plus a fabulous selection of new books!
