Matthew RutledgeOctober 6, 2016Impressive collection. Something for everyone. Unless you're looking for foreign language books. Pretty weak selection.

Severine DavisSeptember 1, 2020Wide variety and prices which are super fair.One of my favorite bookstores.
It is really easy to spend hours here. It is also very difficult to leave without buying a book.
AnnaJuly 29, 2015I could spend hours, days, months, even years in there. It's a great place to get completely lost in

this was one of David Bowie's top three favorite places to go in New York. be cool and educate yourself
They have an amazing graphic novel section. Don't sleep on this store. There are hidden treasures everywhere.
Giana ZulkafliNovember 17, 2018Bookworm haven and selections that can go on for miles . Plenty of shopping to do and not hours to be spent !
Zoe BSeptember 10, 2015If you are patient and look closely, you may find a $2 gem in the book shelves outside.
Gennady PritskerSeptember 9, 2011Go up to the rare-books section; it's dead-quiet. Ask a pretentious question about a rare edition and then abscond, hiding quietly between in the back of an aisle.
George WallaceOctober 18, 202118 miles of books, who could ask for more! The prices were very reasonable too.
RainbeauJanuary 24, 2017The store, founded in 1927, is famous for its claim of having 18 miles of books in stock.
Elvis Torres DelgadoJuly 26, 2016Huge selection of new and used books. Always crowded though, which complicates browsing.
I can't leave NYC without a visit to the Strand! They always have such an amazing selection of completely random medical books about infectious diseases -- be still, my heart!
PaulineFebruary 17, 2014Grab a book and head straight to the bench near the window on the 1st floor. First come, first served!
Deep GujralJanuary 20, 2016Amazing selection and a great place to spend the afternoon browsing books
Danny FriedmanSeptember 15, 2013They have a great "cheaper than Kindle price" section. Which includes hardbacks. What's not to love?
Make sure to find the bargain tables - there's one hidden downstairs with lots of lovely cheap books.
Farrar, Straus & GirouxAugust 6, 2014Meet Ted Rall on Wednesday, September 3, 2014 at 7:00 PM as he reads from his new graphic novel After We Kill You, We Will Welcome You Back as Honored Guests. Read more
Julia MontiDecember 22, 2015Quintessential NYC. Go to Strand on a Sunday, post brunch and get lost in the thousands of books.
Jason BligenAugust 21, 2013If you plan on selling your books get here early, it gets busy mid afternoon!!
BEST bookstore in New York -- too bad the staff is the most miserable bunch of souls this side of the Mississippi. A smile or a "Thank You" goes a long way.
Denis AkhapkinJuly 21, 2015Don't skip a basement with a big collection of literary criticism, letters and memoirs
Gianluca DMAugust 13, 2013By far, the best bookstore in NYC. Check out the rare book room. If you like books, this is the place.
Jessica WickhamJanuary 26, 2017Always busy but then it will be with so many books to wind away a sleepy afternoon getting lost in them all
Lea CeasrineMarch 6, 2015Get lost in isles for hours; swim the shelves, find the hidden treasures of NY's very own.
Jason KonenSeptember 10, 2014Miles of books. New and used. Great prices. Found some books I'd been searching for a while.
Christian JenkinsMay 13, 2017I challenge you to go here and not find one thing you love. It's liberal heaven
Amy RobertsonNovember 24, 2015Excellent for finding something that Amazon wouldn't think to recommend
Kate SilverDecember 20, 2011Crowded most of the time, but customers are always cordial and they have a bunch of New York Review of Books Classics scattered around.
Lauren SKNovember 6, 2014My favorite place to get lost. The books never end and there are great sidewalk deals!
