STRANDed


Since I had some guests in town this weekend, I was doing some slightly more "touristy" things with my time. Although I consider this store a real local treasure of New York, people from far and wide have heard its praises, so it often ends up in guidebooks and "must-see" lists for visitors.

The Strand bookstore has millions and millions of books (literally 18 miles!). The second floor is home to so many art books that I could spend weeks of my life drooling over the amazing photos, monographs, catalogues, writings, and texts... ahhh, Strand - I can't wait to go back this weekend!
