Rediscovering the Drama Book Shop

I rediscovered the famed Drama Book Shop this afternoon after many, many years. I hadn't been in since they moved....everything I needed since then had been easily obtained at Theater Circle (except for the one book I was searching for this afternoon).

What a place tDBS is...a haven for actors, playwrights, everyone. Such a helpful staff....I found everything I needed and more. With copies of nearly every play currently being performed on and off Broadway, I was in my proverbial "glory."

I will certainly be venturing back again (and it'll be sooner than 5 years!)

What a neat store! I go there whenever I am in the city. I was not aware that it changed locations. Could somebody please set me straight?

They moved years ago.

I love that store. Whenver I go, I end up spending way more money than I had intended to.

Oh, so I must have been introduced to the store in its current location. Thanks.

I could live there, so then everytime I walked out I wouldn't have my credit card company calling me to give me a high spending alert. (Exaggeration....but pretty close to reality)

I miss the old location next to the Gentleman's Club.

I love it so much. I can stay there for hours and read.

I always stop by (and spend way too much money) whenever I'm in NYC.

I love both the DBS and Broadway Circle. I find that if one place doesn't have what I'm looking for, the other will. I never miss shopping there when I'm in NYC. I love their store on 40th Street, too. It's bigger and you aren't afraid you'll knock over a stack of books they way you did in their old place on the second floor of that building on 7th Avenue and 48th Street.

They have a pretty decent website, too.

I love the drama book shop. It is amazing. A must stop locale whenever I'm in the city. I always buy a play there, even if I'm dirt broke.
