Black Cat Books

Cool shop. records (cassettes and CDs) and books, a little of something for everyone, from first edition collector items to pulp novels to new books. Well worth it to spend some time in here.

I love the owner! She has a great curation of interesting books! A+++++++

Hands down the best and most well organized second-hand book shop I have been to in NY. There are categories you don’t see even in major book retailers. If you visit Shelter Island, this place is a must.

Absolutely love this place! I never leave empty handed. The selection is endless. The owner is always extremely nice and personable, he always has a pretty good grasp on his stock and books he used to have. This place is a book reader, used bookstore lover's dream!

So happy to have stumbled upon this by chance while haphazardly exploring Shelter Island as a day trip. They have the most interesting collection of signed and rare/vintage books — makes for excellent browsing…and excellent gifts:)

Great experience here on Saturday. Owner chatted with us about Harry Potter, the history of the store, and was really cool. Lots of great books to check out here.

Nice collection of books. An ideal rainy day stop.

Black Cat Books is a clean, orderly book store with a stock that emphasizes art and photography books and modern fiction classes. A fun stop for lovers of books of those types.

Excellent customer service and great selection of Christine golden novels

Amazing selection of just the types of books I like. Art, architecture, film, noir, vinyl, used and new so many rare finds. Owner delightful.

Really nice book shop. You're bound to find something good here. Be sure to stop by if you're on Shelter Island - definitely worth your time.

Excellent selection, neatly curated. Helpful staff.

Honestly one of the best book stores I’ve ever been to. Fantastic selection of art books at an extremely affordable price.

This is an ideal place to search for vintage books and one of a kind gifts. The staff is fantastic.

What a serene gorgeous oasis with an amazing array of books ... one of the very best

Heaven for art and design book lovers. My children also found a good selection of comics and even French comics!

Treasure trove of books , all you should have red

This is a hidden treasure grabbed some great vinyl the other day wish I had more $$$ theres lots of awesome lps here

Interesting selections accompanied by relaxing music. Our first stop when visiting the Island!

Cute little used bookstore! Fun scouring through an old collection of books.
