Barnes and Noble and Borders are fun to browse and have a huge selection, but they strangle the local bookseller. Clove Lake Books may be the only independent bookstore left on staten island (i cant think of any others) and i would hate to see it go. If you're a teacher, you can call them and have your summer reading lists ordered there for your kids. And if you are browsing for books, go to Clove Lakes Bookstore! They might not have everything on hand, but their staff is so much more knowledgeable than the pimply teenagers who work at the big chains. They'll order anything you want.
