Business Description

Strand Bookstore, located in the heart of New York City, is a literary sanctuary that has captivated bibliophiles since its inception in 1927. Opened by Benjamin Bass with his personal collection and just $600, this iconic bookstore is the sole survivor of Book Row, a historic stretch known for its rich literary offerings. The atmosphere here is both vibrant and inviting, with four floors brimming with an extensive collection of 18 miles of new, used, and rare books across all genres. Every visit feels like an adventure, where book lovers can explore diverse subjects, including literature, art, and history, as well as find unique gifts like tote bags and bookmarks. The knowledgeable staff enhances the shopping experience with their helpful and friendly demeanor, though visitors should expect a bustling crowd on weekends. The Strand also serves as a community hub, hosting regular literary events, author signings, and book swaps, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a unique and enriching literary experience.

Gift Tips

  • Explore the vast selection of used books; treasures often await you among the stacks if you enjoy digging for literary gems.
  • Make sure to visit the unique gifts section, where you can find bookish merchandise like tote bags, mugs, and bookmarks that make perfect presents for loved ones.
  • Check out the rare and out-of-print books on offer; these selections are perfect for any collectors or those looking for something truly special.
  • Participate in one of the regular author events or book signings for an unforgettable experience; meet authors and get your books signed, adding to the charm of your visit.
  • Don't miss the opportunity to sell your old books at the Strand; this community-centric aspect enhances your connection to the store and its vibrant atmosphere.
