Yelp, which now has an almost daily e-newsletter about Brooklyn (brought to you by Brooklyn Based) called The Daily Yelp, oves the Community Bookstore:

Booklyn has long been immortalized in literature, praised and parsed by authors from Walt Whitman to Hubert Selby Jr. Haven’t read the latest from Paul Auster, you say? This Weekly Yelp highlights the best Brooklyn bookstores to indulge your inner bookworm and wean yourself off of Amazon.

The Community Book Store of Park Slope gets plenty o’ props from Melissa T for their eager-to-please staff who is always "happy to order a book for you if they don’t have it in stock
(although for a smallish store they have a great selection)," and for
their friendly in-store pooch, Todd. Speaking of which, human yelper Todd L declares Bookcourt "tops" in his book for their "smart well-read staff" and "all-around goodness."
