St. Mark's Bookshop
St. Mark's Bookshop was an independent book store, established in 1977 in New York City's East Village neighborhood. It was the oldest independent bookstore in Manhattan owned by its original owners. The shop, run by proprietors Bob Contant and Terry McCoy, specialized in cultural and critical theory, graphic design, poetry, small presses, and film studies—what the New York Times called "neighborhood-appropriate literature". It featured periodicals and journals, including foreign titles, and included sections on anarchists, art criticism, women's studies, music, drama, and drugs.The store, named after St. Mark's Place, its original location, closed on February 28, 2016 due to rising rent and mismanagement.
