We were in NYC a couple of weekends ago and literally just had time to go in to walk around and leave (plus, it was mobbed). I was in NYC again this week so made the time to stop and shop. Picked up some new graphic novels and a NYC Moleskine, plus some musical-themed sticky notes for my dad, and got a free tote bag because I spent more than $50. Amazing how many books a store can cram into one building.

You can’t go anywhere in NY without seeing someone with one of their canvas STRAND bags.

Just go already!

I was in NY last Octover to see a movie...

...and decided to make a day of it. So, having heard of this place through 43places I put it on my itinerary. As with most bookstores the visit had a bittersweet flavor. So many books I knew I couldn’t have and didn’t have time to read. Just as well that there is nothing really comparable close to me. I would get in trouble. I picked up a couple classics for solace and went on my way.

Joseph Stiglitz

I saw the Stiglitz talk in October while my parents were visiting with my mum. I also bought some second hand books to use for a paper I was writing, and a copy of overheard in new york, whose website I visit frequently. I’m thinking about buying one of their bags, but I’m mulling it over.

Why I avoid the Strand...

I love The Strand so very much that I have to avoid it. The mere sight of it makes my wallet lighter.
