“The prices are also super reasonable, and the books seem to be in good condition (none of that mildewy book smell that unfortunately happens in some used book stores).”

What customers say

Books, records, videos…very nice selection of each, found some interesting book titles . Lots of books ! Didn’t have time to check out the records, lots. The books I looked at were reasonably priced and in good condition. Definitely worth stopping in to see what they have. I’ll be back. Recommended.

The book buying process was smooth and easy. Bill was very communicative and friendly. He paid a super fair rate for my used graphic novels, which was awesome and appreciated. Looking forward to opening day!

Black Dog Books and Records is exactly what we needed in this space on fulton street, with well priced curated books and the funkiest music, an aim for being a community centered space (come check out one of their art markets!), and a rad and interesting owner Bill, what more could you want?

They never fail to amaze me with the amount of new things to see. We come in at least once a month and there is always new stuff to browse. Every time im here i find so mich that i usually have to make hard decisions on what i can afford to buy that day. Love this place, and will continue to stop by regularly forever
