Duffee MaddoxAugust 25, 2017Do you love books? Are you in NYC right now? You have to go! Like you haaaave tooo!
Christa Trude-HossMarch 13, 2015Leave yourself plenty of time for browsing the stacks - especially the sale carts outside.
Our employees are part of UAW LOCAL 2179 & we have to vote on Strand's final proposal next week. Most of us are planning to reject it.
PaulineFebruary 19, 2014Keep a look on the *new arrivals* in the second hand section. Happy treasure hunting!
Cheap books outside on the carts. Ensure plenty of time to browse!
Bathroom is on the second floor, at the back by the kids section.
Monday LisaJanuary 5, 2011I always go in here to find a specific book which they usually don't have, but always leave with something unexpected. It's that kinda place...
Recover Reputation, Online Management GiovincoJanuary 3, 2017Thankfully, it's still here, going strong! A great place for nearly everything.
similar to powell's in PDX, just a lot more cramped in a new york kind of way. staff knows their shit.
Kate SilverDecember 20, 2011Crowded most of the time, but customers are always cordial and they have a bunch of New York Review of Books Classics scattered around.
BEST bookstore in New York -- too bad the staff is the most miserable bunch of souls this side of the Mississippi. A smile or a "Thank You" goes a long way.
Kristie KoosJanuary 14, 2011Make the first left into the new york section and face the first bookshelf on your left...look up! Odd taped newspaper clipping of a famous first lady
Jason BligenAugust 21, 2013If you plan on selling your books get here early, it gets busy mid afternoon!!
You can also sell your books downstairs, where they sell DVDs

Bryan ViperDecember 12, 2014They didn't have what I wanted but definitely had what I needed for goddaughter gifts. Plus, how can you not love the smell of old books?
- Employees, if you still wanna use plastic. Get a cash advance & be sure to have your pin#. Bank matches beat service fees. We need atms still though. Seriously.
Francesco TonizzoMarch 7, 2013Enjoy all moments in the childrens corner!! And the sport corner, of course!
