A bookshop/recordshop with an inventory entirely selected by artists, poets, and musicians.

Open Tuesdays
4 to 7pm

The loft at 222 Bowery has a good sound system, a kitchen, and a big bookcase.

The Bookcase is an artist-curated shop. It contains books and LPs that have been selected by a group of artists, poets, and musicians. All are for sale, and whenever one is sold, we try to find another copy and maintain the same inventory. Obviously, the bookcase also contains John Giorno's own books, GPS merchandise, and all available releases from GPS Records.

The Bookcase is organized by the people who selected the books and LPs, which include:
