Three Lives is the most charming little West Village establishment with a loyal customer base who trusts owner Toby Cox and the rest of his knowledgeable and warm-hearted staff. It’s more than just a bookstore, its a real establishment and contribution to the community. Once inside the store, you immediately feel a sense of warmth. The atmosphere is inviting and I could stay there for hours to chat with the staff about books or cultural ongoings. The service is completely one-on-one and personal so you feel at home. It’s a place that gets you excited about reading.
