McNally Jackson Bookstore Opens Williamsburg Outpost

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — One of New York City’s favorite independent bookstores opened a new location in Williamsburg this week.

McNally Jackson — the independent booksellers based in SoHo — opened a new store at 76 North Fourth St. on Sunday, the company announced on Instagram.

“Come buy some books,” McNally Jackson wrote. “We’ve got lots.”

Store owners first announced they planned to open a McNally Jackson outpost at the Lewis Steel building in 2014 but it wasn’t until December 2017 that owners started promoting the opening on social media.

Readers will find about 35,000 books — organized by author’s nationality — in the 4,000-square-foot space inside the Lewis Steel building, Bklyner reported.

McNally Jackson reported that the Williamsburg outpost does not have a foreign language section but teased on Instagram that it was stocking up on its “small press LGBTQ Nordic poetry” section.

The new bookstore joins a growing list of northern Brooklyn booksellers that includes Book Thug Nation, Desert Island Comics, Spoonbill & Sugartown, and WORD in Greenpoint.
