    The perfect hipster haven for used and new books at discount prices. I’m die-hard about supporting independent bookstores. –Danielle Nussbaum, entertainment director

    I liked the banned books table. Filled with books that have been banned from schools, libraries, etc. and a little bio about why they were banned.

    Strand's enduring eclecticism shines near the information desk, where John Mayer's "Paradise Valley" rubs shoulders with "Koch."

    Overall very good books. But the prices aren't that different from market prices. Maybe 1-2$ off.

    Order your books on the website & pick them up in store the next day. Wayyy easier than trying to find something yourself.

    Set a budget and limit before you go. Otherwise, your money will just vanish out of your pockets and your arms will hurt from carrying books.

    Heard about this bookstore from someone in the magazine biz, so if you're any kind of bibliophile, it's three floors of bliss mixed with the library feel.
