What is WORD?

WORD is an independent neighborhood bookstore in Greenpoint, the northernmost neighborhood of Brooklyn, that celebrated its fifth anniversary in March 2012. Our primary goal is to be whatever our community needs us to be, which currently means carrying a lot of paperback fiction (especially classics), cookbooks, board books, and absurdly cute cards and stationery. In addition, we're fiends for a good event, from the classic author reading and Q&A to potlucks and a basketball league (and anything set in a bar). We're a small operation, just 1000 square feet, but we read too much, so it all works out.

 

A smattering of lovely WORDs about our store, accumulated from various articles and our Yelp page. We are grateful for each and every person who loves WORD, and we're even happier that you all share your love with the world! We solemnly swear that we open the store every day pledging to live up to all this praise. (We also solemnly swear that we are up to no good, but that is a different matter entirely.)
