Unnameable Books
Unnameable Books is an independent bookstore located on Vanderbilt Ave, between St. Marks Ave. and Bergen St., in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, New York.[1]
Overview
[edit]Unnameable Books has been profiled as an example of a small New York bookstore that survives as chains, internet sales, and rising real estate prices drive more established New York independents like Coliseum Books and Murder Ink out of business.[2] It was depicted on the cover of the June 9 and 16, 2008, issue of The New Yorker by the cartoonist Adrian Tomine as well as on a 2024 list of The New Yorker writers' and editors' favorite bookstores in New York City.[3] Founded as "Adam's Books" before being renamed, it has an eclectic collection of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry used and new books.[4] It also carries work from small independent presses, such as Ugly Duckling Presse. In 2022, the bookstore moved to a location across Vanderbilt Avenue and block away.[5]
