McNally Jackson Books Williamsburg

All the McNally Jackson stores are delightful, and this one is particularly warm. The children’s section has a mini-castle that’s sure to delight young readers, and two floors of a large variety of books will keep an adult happily engaged. A must visit for bibliophiles!

Love coming here, feels like another world away from the city. Large, open and has that new book smell. Has an upstairs and is very clean and quiet as well. Great choices for different genres.

All new books. It has an almost Barnes and Noble-level selection but still had a friendly independent feel. Their fiction is categorized for the most part by region of the world it is from, which was a fun way to browse. Good stationary selection too.

Bookstore with an excellent selection. You can spend hours there easily.

Stumbled on this shop. Thought it was really cute until I noticed the number of books on Gaza and Palestine out on display. Went upstairs to the history and politics section hoping to find some titles explaining Israel’s history/side of the conflict (ie some balance). Quick count of over 30 books - Slightly odd in itself considering the size of store - but I have no problem with that - provided both sides of the conflict are represented. I found just one book - an old title not up to date in the current conflict. You can draw your own conclusions. As for me, I’d prefer to spend my money elsewhere.

Really nice collection of books. They had lots of new books available. Loved their journals, pens and notebooks selection. Staff was attentive and friendly.

This was my first time visiting this independent bookstore and I was impressed! There collection is unique and extensive. I found a lot of books about film that I had not seen anywhere else! The set up of the bookstore is amazing! The community is warm and welcoming.

We enjoyed our family reading time in McNally Jackson which the decor is cozy, book line up is various and maintenance is well. Our favorite part is the area they set up for kids and we love to stay there for an entire afternoon. Their price might not be the best but it’s worth a visit.
