The Strand, the largest independent bookstore in New York City is really famous. Established in 1927, it is now in its third generation of family ownership. I used to go there all the time, and it was always dangerous in terms of my wallet and my back. I would promise myself to only buy one or two books and I would leave with a bag of 6 or 7 heavy art or photography books, all at half price! The main store is at Broadway and 12th street, downtown. They also have this kiosk on Fifth Avenue and they have a lot of books there which they put out on tables.
I had to stop, of course, and browse a few titles on the tables, before I continued on to the Met. I am always SO tempted to buy some of the books about New York City, because I don't have enough books at home already! Yeah as if!

It's great that The Strand has books for half price! So tempting to buy books. Something that I used to do. Now I get all my books from the library! betsey
