Hudson Booksellers — Local services in New York

Price gouging in Penn station is just the way it goes. Everything from snacks and water to books is marked up in these stores. My terrible review is based not on the fact that they take advantage of people in the closed market of the station. It's based on the fact that the product they sold me did not work. I'm giving them one star for selling $30. headphones that did not work. A BIG disappointment.

Selling bum goods to people on their way out of town is a huge scam. It's much better to give your money to a corner store.

There was no reason for any of this to take place The only time we removed anything off the shelf was to take these 2 items to the register for a price check. I will never understand why the color of someone's skin makes others feel so uncomfortable. Being Black is a crime to some. Everyone should be treated with fairness and Respect NO MATTER WHAT SKIN COLOR A HuMAN HAS. Shop with caution if you are an African American or anyone with dark-colored skin. You are guilty of stealing as soon as you walk into...

I AM one of those people that goes from Point A to Point B, and rarely, if ever, detours. However, yesterday, Sunday, August 7, 2022, my life partner and I attended a small gathering of fellow Spiritualists, so he and I had time to browse some of the stores in Penn Station. Although this was not my first time encountering Hudson Booksellers, it was my first time having the opportunity to browse, if only for a few moments. I found a considerable number of books, mostly bestsellers and recently published books, both in hardcover and softcover. I also saw cold beverages and snacks, as well as tons of magazines, and even a few kids books, too. I look forward to browsing and buying the next time I have plenty of...
