    This place is great. Two floors worth of used books, all in excellent condition, and with a great selection. The Strand is basically a legend in this city, and the people that work here, many of them students, are well aware of that: they are nice and seem to have read at least one of the books in the store (unlike other places).
    If you can't find a book anywhere - because it's out of print or because it's out of the ordinary - the Strand is your best chance. You can also shop online at www.strandbooks.com

    The Strand likes to advertise itself with the claim to have eight miles of books. We’re not sure of the distance, but there’s no denying this is one of the most book-crammed spaces around. It’s mostly second-hand, with the shelves stretching right to the ceiling, everything from sci-fi paperbacks to hundreds of cookbooks, and even a decent selection of books on tape downstairs (where we purchased a couple of books that got us through a cross-country road trip!). We spent most of our time in among the cookbooks, getting ideas for the next meal, and sometimes just getting lost in the pictures of dishes we could only dream about making. There are people who browse for weeks on end in here: the staff probably don’t even throw them out at night!

    They have, predictably enough, a great section on New York, old and new, and there's also an extremely good travel section, with plenty of discounted titles and second-hand books that look like they've barely been used.
