So Lonely Boy. The good coffee table books are upstairs. Get lost by the Toulouse-Lautrec shelves
Spend an extra 15 minutes and check out the dollar racks outside.. Some gems hidden amongst the old Zagat guides.
AnthonyAugust 20, 2014I don't know why I bother with Barnes and nobles. This place is cheaper and lovelier
Elaine TanAugust 21, 2010Heaven for book-lover! oh they have these lines of $1 used-books in a good condition lining just outside the building!
This place is making us employees angry. They want to slash our personal days in half & enforce a wage freeze until the end of 2014.
Borbala MajorSeptember 29, 2015DO NOT SELL YOUR BOOKS HERE.The Strand has a new policy on buying books. Once you walked through their door they own your books and pay you whatever they wish after their 'appraisal' Nasty.
JauntedApril 26, 2010The tables in the aisle are often packed high with new books at slightly cheaper prices. Look down, if the table has a bottom area, for used versions for way cheaper.
Stand outside in the hot NYC summer afternoon and browse their endless racks of $1 books!

After careful analysis, I realized that I typically spend an average of $1 for every minute spent in this intellectual candy store. Of course this means I can't linger for more than an hour or so...
