The BookMark Shoppe was originally located in Dyker Heights before moving to the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn. Owned and operated by Christine Freglette and Bina Valenzano, who have been friends since junior high school, this independent bookstore specializes in fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books. Next day orders are available at no extra charge.
