About us
The Long Room Books
An independent shop on Division, open since the building was a hardware store. The ground floor is new titles and the staff picks we argue about; upstairs is second-hand, sorted loosely and best browsed without a plan.

Reviews
Trusted by neighbours
I asked for something like Penelope Fitzgerald and left with three books I would never have found on my own. All three were right.
The used section upstairs is dangerous. I have lost entire afternoons in it and regret none of them.
Lovely, calm shop with proper staff recommendations on the shelf cards. Narrow aisles if you have a stroller.
