Where To Find Used Art Books Below East Broadway

Aeon Bookstore is a secondhand shop tucked one flight below street level on East Broadway, in the Two Bridges pocket east of Chinatown. The narrow basement runs long, with used art, design, photography, and theory titles shelved floor to ceiling and stacked on tables down the middle. Prices skew low for out-of-print monographs and gallery catalogs, and the staff picks lean toward the visual and the obscure. Bring time to crouch through the bottom shelves, where the rare hardcovers and marked-down catalogs tend to hide. A 4.9 rating across the reviews points to how carefully the inventory turns over.
