Description

In 1927 the Strand first opened its doors. It moved to 12th and Broadway over 25 years later, and there it has remained. The store is a true maze, with books strewn here and there and some sections impossible to find. There is almost no reason to even shop here. Absorbing the ambience is like understanding how a New Yorker lives. But buying things is always nice.

    “Perhaps the great error is believing/We’re alone/That the others have come and gone/A momentary blip,” goes Tracy K. Smith’s poem “The Universe: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” from her 2012 Pulitzer-winning collection Life on Mars. Taking... More »

    Just because the U.S. premiere of the third season of Downton Abbey isn’t until January 6 doesn’t mean we Americans can’t obsess over the show while we wait. And the best way to do so is with tonight’s talk with two ladies who know the show just... More »

  • 2012 | Best Cheap Books

    Remember books? Well, this long-running bookstore deals in new, used, rare, and out-of-print ones, but there's no need to necessarily go inside for them, except to pay for what you got on the outside. As lovers of fine literature--and even some trash--are aware, Strand Book Store has shelves upon shelves of extra-discounted books stationed all around its exterior. The prices range from a buck to three whole times that, and if you pore through the possibilities, you'll come upon... More »

  • 2005 | Best Renovation for Claustrophobics

    Loyalists see the addition of a second floor at THE STRAND bookstore as an unwelcome departure from its cramped, musty charm. But for bibliophiles who couldn't imagine spending more than five minutes crouched in the biography aisle without bolting for the door, the 2,500-square-foot addition is a breath of fresh air.

  • 2003 | best place to check your bag

    In 2002, owner Fred Bass told the Times that the titles most frequently lifted from THE STRAND were tomes on philosophy, fancy mathematics, and erudite religious studies--making it fairly safe to assume that the Strand attracts pilferers with higher-than-average reasoning skills. Reason this: if you're gonna shamelessly pinch texts, at least do it at a place where you can't also take home Relativity: The Special and General Theory for $3.95. More »
