More infoThe Paper Hound has no interest in being big. This pocket-sized downtown shop deals in used and rare books: a deep poetry wall, philosophy, and the obscure, slightly bizarre titles a staffer will slide across the counter with total confidence. The hand-carved wooden sign out front tells you everything about the personality inside. Set a five-dollar challenge, read first paragraphs aloud, and walk out with books you'll find nowhere else.
Duck into this pocket-sized shop and head for the famously deep poetry wall, it's the kind of place where a staffer slides an obscure gem across the counter and you didn't know you wanted it. Set a five-dollar challenge and browse until the rain eases; it's a quick, charming 45-minute stop. Read the first paragraph of something aloud to each other, buy your weird finds, then carry the momentum on to lunch or a tea bar nearby.
