Singularity & Co. in Brooklyn is New York City’s only bookstore for vintage science fiction, fantasy, and pulp novels. Collectors come from here from all over the globe to scour the well-organized shelves. Folks who don’t know their Adams from their Asimov can still appreciate the colorful jacket designs—or just hang out with Robot, the store’s canine mascot. If you can’t make it to New York, you can sign up for a lifetime subscription ($149.99) to the shop’s Save the Sci-Fi initiative, which publishes e-book versions of rare and out-of-print genre novels every month.
