Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.185 Books & Co (Madison at 74th) Art, literature etc. Wonderful feeling, nice place to shop. Another good literate person's bookstore, reminiscent of Endicott. I've seen celebs shopping there, too (David Byrne; Kathleen Turner) List priced new books, but very eclectic with a philosophy bent. Barnes & Noble (Broadway and 74th) Courtly Music (2067 Broadway btwn 71st and 72nd, suite 27 (on the second floor--not well-labeled on the door)). Hours are 9:45-5:45 Tuesday to Saturday and they also have an 800 number (2-RICHIE). "The focus is on early music, and they have books, instruments, tapes (I don't recall if they have LPs or CDs), instruction tapes and books, and give lessons. I saw someone behind the desk wrapping something, so it looks like they will do mail order. The staff seemed knowledgeable, and xeroxed off a sheet for my friend of local branches of the American Recorder Society for him to contact. All in all a nice shop." Applause Books (211 W. 71st west of Broadway) (212-496-7511) They specialize in film and theatre; some books that can be found nowhere else. Civilized Traveler (Broadway between 66th and 72nd). Opened spring of '92, it's an upscale travel store with guidebooks and maps as well as suitcases and a variety of gadgets and conveniences for travelers. "Their collection isn't vast, but I'm hoping it will build." ==========MIDTOWN============= Argosy (59th btwn Park & Lexington) They are very strong in used hardcover fiction (no sf though), particularly older things from say circa 1920, like James Branch Cabell. They also sell old prints and Americana. Antique and used books, maps, and prints. Some beautiful books, but the owners are major goniffs (thieves) so you'll have to hunt for bargains. It is about five stories high and is one of those books-stacked-up-the-walls-to-the-ceiling places; dim, musty, dense, mysterious. You get the feeling that you could find anything at all there if you only looked long enough. Barnes & Noble (6th Avenue and 57th) Books Nippon (57th btwn 5th & 6th Avenues) Books, cards, magazines in Japanese and English. Fair-sized collection of English language books on a variety of Japanese-related topics, including a large number of art books. Also a large supply of Japanese language books and periodicals. J. N. Bartfield Fine Books (30 W 57th (3rd floor) btwn 5th & 6th Avenues) This is a gallery-like place that carries mostly bound sets of literature. Much of what they carry looks like old versions of the fancy-book-of-the-month club-featuring-the-great-works-of- literature-in-genuine-hand-tooled-leather offers that are available these days. I am not, however, an old book expert so I am not sure if that is a bad thing. I saw an old Vergil edition for $495; this place ain't cheap but may be worth a visit. Rizzoli's (57th btwn 5th & 6th Avenues) Probably the premier art book store in the city. Lots of fun stuff, also foreign books + periodicals A classy place, strong on art books. Opulent bookstore specializing in art/architecture/design books. Italian Bookstore chain. Excellent art, design, and architecture sections. New books at list prices. If you like glossy art books at full price try Rizzoli's. (Also has a downtown and a WTC store) Hacker Art Books (4 West 57th Street) (212-688-7600) Coliseum Books (57th & Broadway Avenue) A good stock of new books, and open until eleven or midnight. An independent. "Coliseum is vast and carries everything that is in somebody's mainstream; it is the only place I know, for example, to purchase a copy of QUOTATIONS OF CHAIRMAN MAO off the shelf." (But see below for a bookstore in Chinatown that also has it.) "Coliseum is large, and has a wide selection. I have not found the staff to be very helpful. I wanted to special order a book, and was told I could only do it Mon-Fri during daytime hours. Looking through the literature section, I found that they had nearly every single Martin Amis book, but none by Kingsley Amis -- Not even LUCKY JIM. They have a terrific poetry section." Forbidden Planet (228 East 59th btwn 2nd & 3rd Avenues) The store on 12th street is better, IMHO. The Mysterious Book Shop (129 W. 56th) Mystery books and so on. It also has its own publishing company so they also have the latest copies of their own line of mysteries. Book-signings by authors. Patelson's (56th & 6th Ave, just behind Carnegie Hall) The best place in NYC for books about music. A huge selection covering all genres. They also are NYC's most-popular source for classical music scores. They can special-order *anything* music-related and will ship. Doubleday (5th Ave & 53rd) -- like Dalton's... They have access to everything, and order what's good, not just what sells. Good store, decent selection, often good salespeople. One of the best mystery book selections in the city outside of the mystery specialty stores. Book-signings. At the front of the store is a bookcase of signed books at regular prices. MOMA Bookstore (in the Museum) (53rd btwn 5th & 6th Avenues) Good selection of books on art, and art books; great poster section; you *don't* have to pay admission to get in. At Christmas they expand across the street, or used to. More neat stuff. B. Dalton (5th Avenue & 53nd) Granddaddy B. Dalton which is worth stopping into if you're in the neighborhood. It is a lot better than the usual run-of-the-mill mall rat B. Daltons and is well-stocked, especially if you are looking for recent releases. Also one on 8th and 6th Avenue. Rand McNally (52nd btwn Lexington & 3rd Avenue) Lots of national and international maps, guide books, globes. Sky Books International Inc (48 E. 50th) Look carefully since this is a small place on the second floor. Their specialty is in military and aviation books and magazines of which they have a good selection. In addition to hardcover and paperback fiction, they have a good deal of stuff on tactics, uniforms, history, aircraft, weapons, etc. They carry a number of magazines which will be of interest to the plane freak and/or model builder. Prices are reasonable but not really bargains. They have a good bulletin board for those interested in buying and selling military paraphernalia. Librarie De France (Rockefeller Center, a small storefront on the Promenade (near the skating rink, opposite the Teuscher's Chocolate shop :-) The Promenade is located off of 5th Avenue, between 49th and 50th streets) (212-581-8810) Run by the same people as the French-Spanish Bookstore, a slightly bigger store downtown on 5th at 19th street, which has many, many more dictionaries. At first, the store appears to be very small, but there is a downstairs section whith about five or six times the space as the upstairs. I had been in the store several times before I discovered the downstairs section. A very large selection of French novels, short stories, non-fiction, etc. Some newspapers, magazines, and records. They also have a reasonably large selection of dictionaries and instruction books for other languages. Prices tend to be high. Staff is usually fluent in French. Kinokuniya Bookstore (49th btwn 5th & 6th Avenues) Japanese books, origami paper, etc. Very large and usually very busy. Japanese tour buses stop here because of its proximity to Rockefeller Center. A bit expensive but much better than any other Japanese bookstore in New York. Drama Book Shop (723 7th Avenue at 48th) (212-944-0595) McGraw-Hill Book Store (48th & 6th Avenue in the basement of the McGraw-Hill building.) Best bet for technical books in the city. An excellent selection for technical books, especially computer books. Their mathematics section is also good, as is their finance section. All publishers. Shinbato (McGraw Hill Bldg) Specializes in Japanese books and books pertaining to the Japanese. Gotham Book Mart (47th btwn 5th & 6th) Excellent poetry, literature, philosophy etc. Practically unique in the world. United Nations Bookshop (General Assembly Building, E 45 St & First Ave) (212-963-7680) Has international affairs books, and UN publications. Urban Center Books (457 Madison Ave) (212-935-3592) Great place for Architecture/Planning/Urban Design Books Travel Bookstore (199 Madison at 35th) Important collection of maps, guides and books. Very knowledgeable staff composed largely of travel-addicts, as opposed to the younger Rand-McNally staff. Many more travel commentary books than strict guide books. Macy's (34th & 7th Avenue) Surprisingly good! Pak Books (27th btwn 3rd & Lexington) Books on Middle Eastern culture, philosophy, etc. ==========DOWNTOWN/VILLAGE============= Samuel French bookstore and reading room (45 W 25th) (212-206-8990) Open 9-5 M-Fri; their ad says "1000's of play titles; out of print archives for Samual French plays; bookstore & reading room open to the public". I've never been there; caveat tourist. Victor Kamk(a)in (149 5th Avenue south of 22nd) (212-677-0776). Russian Language bookstore. It's said to be good. ("That 'a' appears in the Yellow Pages but not in the White Pages. No, I'm really not that compulsive, I just tripped over the discrepancy once.") The French-Spanish Bookstore (5th Avenue and 19th) A very large selection of French and Spanish novels, short stories, non-fiction, etc. Some newspapers, magazines, and records. They also have a reasonably large selection of dictionaries and instruction books for other languages. Prices tend to be high. They have a slightly smaller store uptown in Rockefeller Center. Staff is usually fluent in French or Spanish. Academy Bookstore (18th btwn 5th and 6th Avenues) Small, well-kept. Has strong humanities and soc.sci. section. Also a large supply of used CDs, especially classical and opera! Brunner/Mazel (19 Union Square West, 8th Floor) (212-924-3344) Mostly psychology. Skyline Bookstore (13 18th btwn 5th and 6th Avenues) Across the street from Academy and apparently owned by the same person. This one has a slightly different focus than Academy. Book-Friends Cafe (18th btwn 5th and 6th Avenues) The store is run by Elizabeth Cymmerman. It specializes in works between 1890 and 1940 and, in addition, serves food and drink. There is also a list of scheduled readings posted on the door. The collection is small but the place seems inviting. The concentration is on biography, hardback fiction, and gracious living. Barnes & Noble (18th & 5th Avenue) The sales annex, which is largely remaindered, used, and discontinued books, and so on, is big. A whole store for half-price stuff and another whole store for textbooks. I think it is less well laid out than Coliseum, but it is also better-stocked on some recent things and is often cheaper. The retail store across 5th Avenue is also huge, with a great reference section. ? (14th btwn 6th and 7th Avenues) Spanish-language bookstore. Big selection. Staff speaks Spanish and English. East West Books (5th Avenue btwn 13th and 14th) (also uptown) Stocks books on Buddhism, Taoism, Sufism, Indian Religions also New Age, self-improvement, health and healing. Cards, jewelry, audio tapes, incense. Good sized stock. Books of Wonder (17th & 7th Avenue) Heavenly gift to adults who like children's books. Everything from first editions to the latest paperbacks. They do readings periodically. Periodic newsletter they'll send to customers announcing new books. Revolution Books (16th btwn 5th Ave & Union Square) Huge Marxist & otherwise left wing inventory. Book Scientific (16th btwn 5th Avenue & Union Square) Scientific and technical books; good selection, 10% discount to faculty or university researchers. They'll order books, and ship them. With university ID, there are often extra discounts. Best stock in the city of scientific books, and they offer a 5% discount to students. It's hard to find on its own, being on the 2nd floor with a tiny sign, but it's directly across from the large red "Revolution Books" banner. ? (16th btwn 5th Avenue & Union Square) Large used- and rare-book store, on the same floor as Book Scientific. "Nice collection of plays, but I don't remember much else about it." Different Light (Hudson near 14th) Gay and lesbian bookstore. Biography Bookshop (Bleecker & 12th) One poster says, "Nice store, but try the Strand first -- this place is way overpriced." (Editorial note: this probably just means that new books are in general over-priced.) Mysterious Bookstore (Foul Play) (8th Avenue & 12th) Mysteries & horror. Strand Books (828 Broadway & 12th) (212-473-1452 or 800-366-3664) This place is huge. They specialize in reviewers' copies, used books, and the out of print. "The Strand is one of the world's largest bookstores, and yet the employees there, unlike those in many smaller bookstores, really do know what is on the shelves and can tell you immediately whether or not they have what you are looking for: 'Do you have "The Complete Encyclopedia of Illustration," by...' 'By Heck. No, sorry; we don't.' is a much better answer than : 'Uh, gee, I dunno...look around on the shelves.'" There's a much smaller branch at the South Street Seaport. The Strand has a separate store for antiquarian books next to the main store (not at ground level), accessible by escort or appointment. This store has a good selection of original editions and valuable books. Forbidden Planet (12th & Broadway) "The Science Fiction and Fantasy Flea Market." Books, comic books, posters, magazines--if you're at all into this stuff, it's worth it. (Editorial note: I prefer the Science Fiction Shop; FP seems too involved in marketing peripheral stuff, while the SF Shop has been selling science fiction *books* for many years now.) Oscar Wilde Bookstore (Christopher btwn Gay and Greenwich Ave.) Gay and lesbian books. This is a much older store than A Different Light, and was probably the first such in the city. (And, yes, it really is near Gay St!) Three Lives Book Store (154 W 10th east of 7th Ave.) A wide variety of subject matter, but seeming to concentrate on women authors, reissues of 1920s and 1930s books. Very interesting place to browse. Judith's Room (Washington btwn Charles & 10th) "I found this when I was hunting for a copy of Christine de Pisan's 'Book of the City of Women' to use in a medieval philosophy class. Not available in any university bookstore I searched, nor in B&N or Strand. Not only did Judith's Room have the book, but the saleswoman had read it and could discuss it, and recommend other books by Christine, and other women of that period." It's also the only feminist bookstore in the city. They sponsor readings. Tower Books (Lafayette & 4th) Good selection, open late, reasonable prices, eclectic selection of magazines and out-of-town newspapers. Pretty good discounts for hardbacks and best sellers. Pageant, 109 E 9th, off 4th Avenue Woody Allen shot one of the scenes in HANNAH AND HER SISTERS here. Offbeat -- a peculiar mishmash of unexpected gems buried in the dreck. I recently got an absolutely mint first edition of William Gaddis' JR here for $5 -- not the first time I've found a terrific book in this place for next to nothing. Probably some real finds in the incredibly disordered upstairs -- I've never had the patience.... St. Marks Bookshop (St. Mark's Place (8th St) btwn 2nd & 3rd Avenues) "A GREAT bookstore. Excellent selection of books for the downtown intellectual." Though they had some financial difficulties in the past, they are now in the black again. Open fairly late. Smart, sometimes helpful, staff. Art Bookstore? (Broadway and Bond) An excellent art bookstore. B. Dalton (8th & 6th Avenue) Worth stopping into if you're in the neighborhood. Well-stocked, especially if you are looking for recent releases. Also one on 5th Avenue & 53nd. ??? (7th btwn 1st Avenue & Avenue A) There is a bookstore (a slight walkdown from the street) on the south side of the street, that has some great stuff and the prices are very good. I don't know its name, or even if it has one, but the owner is a older woman who has been in the neighborhood a long time. She's slightly nutty, but you can always play tourist and avoid confrontation. Esoterica (61 4th Avenue just north of Astor Place) Large stock of books on Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, occult and New Age. Incense, jewelry, audio tapes. Cooper Square Books (21 Astor Place) (212-533-2595) Very large selection, non-existent staff. Better prices at Tower Books, slightly better staff at St. Mark's Books. Shakespeare & Co. (Broadway just north of 4th ) (also uptown) A good, large selection, they're good about getting in the new stuff quickly. The Art of Reading (Mercer and Bleeker) Piles of used books, and (for a change) strong sections in math & science. They also have loads of used textbooks. Science Fiction Shop (Bleeker west of Thompson) Moved from their old Eighth Avenue location. This one *does* have enough room to swing a (small) cat in; it also shares the second floor with a comics store that is quite good. Cinemabilia (Broadway at Houston) On the second floor of an office building. A lot of cinema books, occasionally priced above publisher's list. (I always check BOOKS IN PRINT first.) Spring Street Books (Spring near Thompson) Another great collection. It is not a large place, but it is filled with wonderful books. The poetry section is quite good, for such a small store. They also have a nice selection of magazines. The recent fiction section is arranged alphabetically by title, rather than by author. Untitled Cards (159 Prince) Before art postcard shops became something to franchise, there were cramped stores like this jammed with an exquisite selection of cards. Another branch on W. Broadway is more spacious and has an extensive art book selection, but lacks the down home feel of the original. Soho Books (351 W Broadway, 1/2 block below Broome) (212-226-3395). Opened May '92. Good assortment of used books in a wide variety of subject areas; biography section seemed especially diverse. Worth dropping into on your way to buy new books at Spring St. Books and Rizzoli. Irish Books and Graphics (90 W Broadway) New and used books mostly related to Irish history and culture. Selection of Irish language (Irish Gaelic) books and periodicals. Very pleasant place. Rizzoli's (W Broadway around Prince) Italian Bookstore chain. Excellent art, design, and architecture sections; probably the premier art book store in the city. New books at list prices. Lots of fun stuff, also foreign books and periodicals. "A classy place, strong on art books." "Opulent bookstore specializing in art/architecture/design books." (Also has an uptown and a WTC store) Guggenheim Soho Museum (Broadway and Prince) A good art bookstore (big surprise, right?). There's absolutely no reason to visit Rizzoli's and not here, or vice versa. A Remainder & Used bookstore (Chambers btwn Broadway & 8th) Called Harry's or Barney's or something similar. Prices are great but ratio of remainders to used books is very high. Lots of used paperbacks, if that's a lure. Note: this might actually be the following: Ruby's Book Sale (119 Chambers) Really BARGAIN prices for books; many, many, NEW books in the $40-$100 range can be had here for $15-$25; one book I bought for my daughter was $47.95 NEW at Miller's (a riding shop) and was purchased at Ruby's for $12! Science Fiction, Mysteries, and More (140 Chambers west of W Broadway) Opened June '92. It will have readings and signings. Details to follow as I get them. Strand Books (South Street Seaport) Nowhere near as large as the one on Broadway. Oriental Culture Enterprises Co, Inc (13-17 Elizabeth), second floor. Open seven days a week, 10 am to 8 pm. "I got my five-volume SELECTIONS FROM MAO ZEDONG there. (They have it in English, too, by the way, along with Lenin, Marx, and others.) A great selection of books, most of which are in Chinese. They also sell things needed for Chinese calligraphy, Chinese musical instruments, recordings of Chinese music, Chinese-language periodicals, and many other things Chinese. An attached art gallery sells paintings. While browsing through the books, sit down and enjoy a cup of tea free of charge. Well worth a visit. Two complaints: it's more expensive than it should be, and too many of the books are damaged (by careless customers, or by thoughtless staff?). Unquestionably the best bookstore in all of Chinatown." Isaac Mendoza's (used) (2nd floor loft above Ann near City Hall) They have the best selection of used hardcover science fiction in town, by far. They are also strong in a number of other categories and their prices are reasonable -- I saw a copy of THE ICEMAN COMETH inscribed by Eugene O'Neill there once, for $25. Rizzoli's (World Financial Center) (212-385-1400) Probably the premier art book store in the city. Lots of fun stuff, also foreign books + periodicals A classy place, strong on art books. Opulent bookstore specializing in art/architecture/design books. Italian Bookstore chain. Excellent art, design, and architecture sections. New books at list prices. If you like glossy art books at full price try Rizzoli's. (Also has an uptown and downtown store, and they have opened up a branch in Bloomingdale's 59th & Lexington Avinue. They also have stores in Boston, Chicago, Costa Mesa and Williamsburg. Waldenbooks (59 Broadway south of Wall St.) Very strong on finance. Reasonably strong on everything else. Also, there are lots of specialty bookstores, usually around each of the colleges and universities in the area (Columbia, NYU, St. Johns, CUNY, and so on). "What you really need is a copy of "The Bookstore Book" (subtitle A Guide to Manhattan Booksellers) by Robert Egan, published by Avon. The copy I have has a date of 1979, but there may be a more recent edition. It lists over 750 bookstores, categorized by type of store and subject area, with several useful indexes. I've found all sorts of interesting bookstore using it. Try to get a copy." Evelyn C.

It includes novels, poems, research, and a few related stories. X-Last-Updated: 1992/12/22 Archive-name: books/robin-hood Version: 1.4 Last-modified: 21 December 1992 Periodicity: 25 days Copies of this FAQ may be obtained by anonymous ftp to pit-manager.mit.edu (18.172.1.27) under /pub/usenet/news.answers/books/robin-hood. Or, send email to mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with the subject line "send usenet/news.answers/books/robin-hood", leaving the body of the message empty. This is a reading list involving the Robin Hood legend. My criterion for these books is that it be concerned with the Robin Hood legend in some way. I have three categories here: novelizations (fiction), poetry, and non-fiction (eg, studies and research). There are a good number of research and old-manuscript references listed here that are probably unavailable except through a University-level library. I have split the books up into the following categories: * Medieval fiction: often published at any point in time, but discussing texts from this period. I've arbitrarily put everything pre 1600 in this section, although I realize this isn't the "medieval" period. * Fiction (1600-1899): involves any fiction published during this time. If I have an 18th century commentary on a 15th century work, that goes here. (If it's a 18th century republication of something from prior to 1600, let me know and I will move it to the above category.) * Fiction (1900-present): includes all fictionalized accounts published in this century. * Poetry: includes all poetic versions of the Robin Hood legend, regardless of when (first) published or written. * Non-fiction and research: includes analyses of the Robin Hood legend: how it started, what purpose it filled, etc. Some of the texts that republish old work but include an analysis may have been mistakenly filed in one of the fiction categories above; let me know if this is the case. I encourage you to send in any comments you have on a particular book for inclusion. I'd like to be able to give a sense of what the book offers. In addition, if you have references to books on Robin Hood that are *not* listed here, please send them to me for inclusion. Disclaimer: I have not vouched for the accuracy of each and every entry in this list. I would like also to indicate which books are no longer in print. If you find mistakes or have additional information on a reference, by all means, let me know. Thanks to: Ann Carlson, Matthew Clark, Dan'l Danehy-Oakes, Roger Gardiner, Larry Hammer, Tovah Hollander, Jane Lean, Robert Oliver, Emma Pease, Tirza van Rijn, and Elaine Thompson for their help in putting this list together.
