This time on our book shopping trip to New York, Denise and I made it out to some of the bookstores in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn. The most notable was Book Court, a spacious bookstore, well-stocked in quality fiction (I purchased The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgarov), children's books, nonfiction, and books about Brooklyn. I also found a discounted copy of a 2011 book exploring perception in photography Seeing is Believing: Observations on the Mysteries of Photography by Errol Morris.
The Community Book Store
A few blocks from Book Court is The Community Bookstore, which had not opened for the day. Looking through the store window, I must admit, was a little intimidating. My only thought was that this is what happens to books that are tossed in the dumpster. But photography, says Morris, can be deceiving, so you and I both should refrain from being too judgmental.
The Master and Margarita? Nice find!
