McNally Jackson Books is an independent bookstore based in New York, New York owned and operated by Sarah McNally, a former editor at Basic Books and the child of Holly and Paul McNally, the founders of the Canadian McNally Robinson Booksellers chain.[1]
History[]
In 2004, Sarah McNally opened the store as a branch of McNally Robinson, a Canadian bookstore chain founded by her parents.[1] In August 2008, the New York store in Nolita split from the parent chain and was renamed McNally Jackson Books.[2][non-primary source needed] The current name references Ms. McNally and her then-husband Christopher Jackson, a senior editor at Spiegel & Grau.[1]
By October 2011, the store had invested in an Espresso Book Machine to print both major publisher titles and approximately 700 self-published works per month. The Espresso machine remained in operation until 2017.[1]
In 2012, McNally Robinson was sold from its founders, Ms. McNally's parents, to Chris Hall and Lori Baker, longtime employees of the chain.[3] McNally Jackson remained independent under the ownership of Sarah McNally.
In January 2018, McNally Jackson opened a second bookstore in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the Lewis Steel Building at 76 N 4 St.
In September 2019, McNally Jackson opened a third bookstore in the South Street Seaport.[4] They opened their fourth bookstore in Downtown Brooklyn in March 2020.[5]
