british book nerd goes to Barnes & Noble for the first time (new york vlog)

Ooh, looks like Jack will be reaching that library milestone soon enough!

Thank you Jack for letting us live vicariously through you

Jack if you're interested the Brooklyn Book Festival is tomorrow and there are events all day with authors and also independent publishers selling their books usually at a discount :) I've been a few times and also volunteered there and really recommend it!

You bought only one book, in such a huge bookstore !? Sir, I am impressed, teach me your ways. 😳

As an American living abroad, literally the only things I miss from the US are English bookstores and Trader Joe’s 😂😭

Kaiti Yoo and Jack Edwards is the chaotic collaboration I didn't know I needed. Please bring the chaos, please and thank you 🤩

the absolute AUDACITY of jack for living his best slow travel life

We definitely need an updated version of reading what other people read on the subway now that you're in NYC.

The most underrated bookstore in NYC: Housing Works Amazing selection, beautiful store, reasonable prices, proceeds go to a good cause, and their marketing copy is hilarious

30 DOLLARS FOR A NORMAL ASS BOOK?!?!?!? WHAT?!??!? And I complain when I have to pay 10 💀

You should go go Yu & Me (first female Asian American owned bookstore in NYC)! The staff are so so kind :) westsider rare books is also super gorgeous! My personal favorite is Mercer street books

Jack AND Kaiti in one video??? Literally my two favourite creators on youtube? am i hallucinating or is this really happening omg

You should go to a college bookstore for real sticker shock! If you walk through the textbook section you will see books for hundreds of dollars EACH! My daughter bought her books through UK source - same books (often softcover versions) for much, much less! To save postage, she ended up using a group on campus that started a “business” by buying textbooks in bulk from UK that they sold to their Harvard classmates at steep discounts while making a profit (but cheaper then if bought individually and paying postage).

Cant wait until you start finding the little bookstores dotted and hidden around. Barns and Noble is nice but finding those little gems is always fun

As an American, Jack discovering American things is giving me life

Jack, I really have to say that I appreciate how you do the most out of your opportunities!! With the freedom and financial stability of your job, living in different places for different periods of time is the best thing you can do. You deserve it. Thanks for taking us with you! Love you🥰

I Spent hours and hours in the Barnes & Noble at Union Square when I was doing my semester abroad in NY! I studied there all the time because I couldn’t concentrate anywhere else, it was just so hard to walk out without a book when I only came to study 😂 (I absolutely failed that btw, it was a very rare occasion when I actually managed not to buy anything)

Jack I hope you see this! Shipping books from the US is dirt cheap! Only rule is that the parcel can ONLY contain books. I always ship books to Europe that way, regular post office.

The CONTENT Jack has been making lately 😭😭 we are blessed people

One HUNDRED percent agree with everyone recommending The Strand - it’s the shit. If I may also suggest: Word Books in Greenpoint (snappy and tiny) Books are Magic in BK McNally Jackson (there are a few locations, but SoHo is my fave - pop next door, get some wine 😊 and pour over the books you just got!) I lived in NYC for 11 years, and took myself on Book Crawls all the time :) so excited for you to discover your favorite shops, too, as you stroll around… Maybe a video on that, when you find some?
