The Corner Bookstore became an instant mecca for a book-hungry Carnegie Hill when it opened in 1978. Located in a landmark neighborhood in New York City, it has been satisfying the literary desires of this residential neighborhood for over three decades. It takes enormous pride in its stock, and carefully selects current adult fiction and nonfiction titles to bring only the best of the best to its customers. Its commitment to carrying “only the best of the best” extends to all sections of the store including history, biography, travel, cookbooks, parenting, poetry, mysteries, and art.
They have a monthly email Calendar of Events with the dates and descriptions of scheduled author readings and signings that primarily feature first-time local writers, who enjoy the opportunity to celebrate their publishing success with family and friends in a cozy, personal environment. Readings are followed by a festive wine-and-cheese reception.
