What Strand Book Store is known for
Eighteen miles of books — the 1927 survivor of Fourth Avenue's Book Row, three generations of the Bass family, four floors of new, used and rare, and the outdoor dollar carts that have seeded a century of New York libraries. The rare book room upstairs is a pilgrimage of its own.
