“Just wanted to say thanks for ordering these books for me. And thanks for moving in to the neighborhood. Word is such a fantastic store - it really makes the whole area feel more welcoming and cozy!”

“Man, we finally get an English-language bookstore in Greenpoint; thank God it rocks…WORD does, in fact, have every book you’re planning on reading, and almost nothing else. I have no idea how this works, but it’s the truth. And they have discounts.”

“the answer to my prayers…two enthusiastic thumbs up!”

“The shop is small, but the woman who runs it is extremely nice, and the selection is especially smart and well-focused. They don’t have everything, but they have the best of what you might want. And given their twice-a-week special orders, you can get in-print books within a day or two. That’s swell. The children’s section is awesome.”

“Salvation has come to Greenpoint in the form of this newly opened bookstore. Good thing to know. It’s small, but very nicely edited by a friendly owner. The fiction section is well stocked with fantastic books currently and formerly on my reading list. You will find an original card selection (average $4) and many boxes of stationery, journals, etc. Very excited by the Graphic Novel shelves. I look forward to checking out the book clubs and upcoming events. Great place to go when you don’t know what to read next. “

“I’m very happy that I’m going to be able to buy this book [new Harry Potter] at an independent bookstore in my neighborhood at midnight rather than having to go to Barnes and Noble!”

“Barnes and Noble it is not. Barnes is a behomoth mash of confusion while WORD has the book you were really looking for all that time, simply displayed…next to the other book you heard about and were meaning to read. The store is so cute and charming you’ll want to poke around for an hour. The owner is a cheerful, knowledgeable sage who has directed me to about five books that are now on my list of favorites. There is also a section for kids littered with toys and puzzles. This place is a little gem!”

“Greatest Event Of All Time: WORD Bookstore, a very lovely and small bookseller in Greenpoint, is kicking off its monthly Game Night tonight with free beer and Scrabble. It starts at 7:30pm, and it’ll be every third Tuesday from now on. They give you the beer, you bring your Scrabble board and your nimble fingers. This is it, I quit, there are no other events that will beat this.”

“This is that quaint-looking book store in Greenpoint where hot hipster moms take their kids.”
