Brownstone Books, Inc., is located in the heart of the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District of Bedford-Stuyvesant. We are a general bookstore specializing in popular and hard-to-find African-American interest adult and children titles.
Crystal Bobb-Semple strongly believes the theory that a bookstore is the perfect business for building "community." So much so that she and her husband, Walston set out to create a business that would fill a retail void and serve as a gathering point for local residents. Brownstone Books and The Parlor Floor Antiques, also owned by the Bobb-Semple's, both opened in July 2000 and have already added tremendous value to the neighborhood.
