Bookseller Review: Second Story Books

Second Story Books
2000 P Street NW
Washington, D.C
202.659.8884




One of the largest used and rare bookstores in the world, they have two locations in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Together they house over a million books in all categories, as well as collectible manuscripts, maps, ephemera, prints and posters. 

What we like: Large selection of general fiction, both paperback and hardcover, with many older classic editions. Bargain book carts outside of the store. 

What we don't like: They have a large collection of amazingly old, beautiful editions of classic literature - but the prices are pretty steep. Too rich for our blood.

Would we go again? Anytime we are in D.C. we would stop by to browse the books carts.
