Across the street from The Strand
I had a busy week! I got to go on a short vacation in NYC. Of course I squeezed in a few bookish pursuits including going to The Strand. What an amazing bookstore! There are so many books - both new and old - that it's almost overwhelming. I'm fairly new to reading but this store made me want to read about things I would have never even thought of before! I didn't have nearly enough time to take in everything so I hope to make it back in May when I go to BEA. Here are a few more pics from inside the The Strand.
I also got to check out the Scholastic bookstore. An AMAZING place for children and YA books. I really had to restrain myself.
But ultimately NYC is all about the food! It's a good thing we walked a lot!
Goodies that I brought home:
Thanks to my friend Sherry for being the perfect tour guide and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERRY!!
XOXO

Never seen a bookstore like that before...looks like a converted library.
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing place. They have old/new/rare books and a knowlagable staff. The prices are great too. I think they said that they have 18 miles of books.
ReplyDeleteIt's like my dream to go to The Strand (and Scholastic's store looks awesome too)! Thanks for sharing the pics :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a good time.
