Editorial reviews from the web (3)

One of Brooklyn's best bookstores, indie spot WORD's small basement hosts author readings, humorous talks by OED editors and networking events for writers. The food, fiction and children's sections are small but well-curated. Don't hesitate to ask -- the smart, young staff will always offer great recommendations. And join the Frequent Reader program for book discounts.

Greenpoint's independent neighborhood bookstore, Word teems with enough incredibly quaint and cute paperback fiction, puzzles, and stationery to make even Meg Ryan queasy. Book clubs, author events and workshops fill the calendar, serving as perfect remedies for those hungover Sundays when you're craving more than a greasy brunch, but actual literary intellect and sophistication- if you can...

A strong woman is the foundation of this universe and that's an indisputable fact
So this is my dedication to her self worth to keep her spirit intact
My goal is to congratulate and acknowledge her divine presence
Hopefully my words will motivate and keep her striving for excellence
Sometimes women aren't given the proper credit that they rightfully deserve...

Tips about this business (5)

Word is like Meg Ryan’s Upper West Side shop in "You've Got Mail"--a charming, independent bookstore trying to survive in a world overrun by Goliath chain stores. By patronizing this Greenpoint shop, then, you don't just get to browse shelves of literature in a clean, bright setting; you get to take a stand against the Man. In addition to books, there's a wide selection of fine stationery and gifts like puzzles. A bright orange wall in back marks the children's section. Although the prices at Word may not be as deeply discounted as at its chain store competitors, its neighborhood charm--and...
