Suspend Your Disbelief

a walking tour of NYC's indie bookstores


This is courtesy of The Millions, who gave us the first incarnation of this tour in 2007. This updated, expanded map and itinerary is also a eulogy for the bookshops we’ve lost and those that won’t be with us for much longer…

And, as of today, you can edit and update the map to include the independent bookstores and bookish places you love anywhere in the world.

Follow these instructions to help create The Millions’ Collaborative Atlas of Bookstores and Literary Places.

Who will add Shaman Drum to the Atlas? Do so, let me know you did, and I’ll order you a book of your choice from the store.
