Second Story Bookshop, founded in 1992, is not only one of New Yorks finest used-bookstore, but also
one of New York States fastest growing (a rare feat these days). We are a general used bookstore,
thus offering a large selection of books on all subjects, including childrens titles. Although we do
not specialize in any one subject, we can claim to have the largest selection of art, architecture,
and photography books in the area.
For those unimpressed by our facade, we are bigger than we look! We boast over 50, 000 titles
in-stock, from genre fiction priced at $2.50 to highly collectible titles. Nearly all our books are
cataloged online. Because we are always buying, our inventory grows everyday. Browse us online, or
in person, and discover the finest and most eclectic selection of new, used, and rare books around.
We are open six days a week, Monday through Friday 10am to 8pm, Saturday 10am to 7pm.

Our Doctors
Violent Fems
Co-Owner
Filis "the Treasure" * Winthrop has been an owner of Second Story Bookshop for 20 years, since Mr. Chevalier retired. She's the one with the white hair, exuberant personality and love of non-fiction, art and design books, and biographies. Filis, with her background as a high school English teacher (go L.A. High!), a docent at LACMA, and a world traveler, is also the reason Chevalier's is know for its classic section, travel books, and art and design books. Filis is also the resident opera expert. Her hometown is Minneapolis, but she has lived all over the place.
Sue Otto
Co-owner
Sue "the Francophile" Otto has been an owner of the bookstore for 7 years. She is an expert on children's literature and her children's section is a hangout for neighborhood parents and their kids. She is also the woman behind the Book of the Month Club. Sue picks books for kids ages 1 month to 21+ every month as gifts from their grandparents, godparents, friends, and family. Sue's obsessions are Marie Antoinette, wolves and other animals, and anything French. Besides her other obsessions, Sue reads fiction and, on occasion, mysteries, and likes to listen to Amanda Overmyer CDs and country music. Her hometown is Saginaw, Michigan.
Norman Dixon
Manager
Norman "the not-anyMormon" Dixon has worked at Second Story for a little more than 6 years, and is well known in the neighborhood for his charm and charisma and his soaring, operatic falsetto. If you don't love Norman, you're a fool. Norman is in charge of all the book signings at the bookstore, as well as off-site events. He is also the greeting card buyer for the store. He has a predilection for memoirs, diet & fitness books (look how fit he is!), humor (think David Sedaris), and the author Tom Spanbauer. Dogs drag their owners into the store just to lick Norman's face. Norman is a singer/actor and is into cabaret, the group Pink Martini (over and over) and k.d. lang. He grew up in Orem, Utah.
Liz Newstat
Liz "the Nerd" Newstat worked as an editor and post producer in television for many, many, many years and finally crossed over from the dark side. Of all the Second Story people, she is the most eclectic, reading anything from fiction to cookbooks, poetry, science and math, the WSJ, baseball books, and how-to-wash-your-t-shirt tags. Shallow, but reads a lot. Very opinionated. Obsessed with Scandinavian mysteries. Favorite author: Henry Green. Liz likes almost any music (jazz, hip hop, rock, r&b) except what her colleagues like. Typical of a San Francisco native.
Alexandria Williams
Alex "Oxford Girl" Williams is a young genius and unfortunately can only work at Second Story on a very part-time basis. She graduated from Oxford -- yeah, the one in England -- and is a brilliant 22-year-old. Oddly enough, she loves sports books, especially basketball, and also C. S. Lewis. Ask her about travel books because she loves to travel. Also, given her age, she can make great recommendations for your kids. Her hometown is Riverside, California.
