NYC Bookstore Journey

Location: 122 4th Ave #4903, New York City Opening hours: 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. What We Like About Alabaster The Variety of Books ⭐⭐⭐ The Atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Price ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Alabaster Bookshop  has 23 years of history and is the last secondhand bookstores that once lined the Fourth Avenue. It is 5-minute-walk near the Strand Bookstore but is much smaller and more affordable. Being a small yet selective bookshop,  Alabaster sells books range from literature to psychopathology, featuring some rare photography books and first edition paperbacks.  The store is finely ornamented, with blue festoon lights hanging on the display window and old photographs exhibited on the walls as well as bookshelves. We believe that people who step into Alabaster would have a pleasant reading time as they listen to the soft ambient music and smell the aroma of old books.
