I stopped by Strands a couple of days ago. This place flies under the radar but there's so many books here that it r ivals some of the libraries I go to. There's new, used, and rare books, volumes of classics, arts, theatre, history, and loads of fiction and non-fiction.
You can purchase books below the retail price. For example, you can get a 20 dollar book for 13 dollars. I have purchased book still in the wrapper for a low price. Strand literally has miles of books. One can easily lose themselves here. There are events featuring speakers, artists, and other literari and artistic persons. Some of the speakers hosted have been James Franco, David Sedaris, artist Alex Katz, Teju Cole, and Pete Hamill to mention a few.
Strand is located on Broadway and East 12th Street, just below Union Square. For store hours and directions go to:
