Founded by best-selling novelist Emma Staub—you’ll often meet her behind the counter at the front—Books of Magic has an influence well beyond Brooklyn thanks to its superb near-nightly authors events. Regular browsing here is pretty great, too, thanks to a robust children’s section, the smart and sometimes quirky fiction selections (lots of local authors), and the passion of the staff.
