Welcome to *Spotlight on NYC Bookstores*

This blog is an evolving directory of bookstores in the five boroughs of New York.

It was created by Dawn at She Is Too Fond of Books as a guide for those visiting Manhattan in May 2010 for Book Expo America, Book Blogger Con, or Book Week.

Please use it as a self-guided tour to bookish delights in the Big Apple! Credit to Beth at Beth Fish Reads for assistance with fine-tuning the layout, and to Jill at Fizzy Thoughts for the bright header!
