vlwelser @TheBookHippie I behaved. 1 book per bookstore only. Support the locals for sure. I didn't need books at all. 1mo
TheBookHippie @vlwelser I have lists. If not on list cannot buy 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

The tagged location isn't the one I visited, but you get the idea! I'm so proud of myself for not buying anything I wasn't specifically trying to find. I didn't browse. I looked for specific authors, got what I didn't have, and got out of there before I lost my will power.

dabbe The dream store I want to visit! I admire your restraint! 🤩🤩🤩 3mo

Aisles and aisles of books! 📕 📗📘📙

Leftcoastzen And the floor squeaks too! 2y
Billypar It's a great place: one of the few where I can look up almost any backlist title and have pretty good odds that it will be in stock. 2y

While in NYC over the weekend, we made a (too quick) stop at The Strand. It was hopping for a Sunday evening!! What an incredible place. I made a kind of frenzied dash and walked out with 3 books I hadn‘t heard of and 1 I‘ve been looking forward to picking up! Will post those later!

I really stuck to my goal to only buy books in NYC, my last stop on my USA tour. I visited the big & popular The Strand bookstore and I not only bought books, but so much bookish merch too! A tote bag, a small bag, a bookmark, a sticker, a postcard and three books. The store was very crowded and people constantly bumped into each other.

Of course, I couldn‘t leave NYC without visiting the famous The Strand bookstore 😍. I will share my purchases later 🤩.

Chrissyreadit Glad you got to experience The Strand! 2y
slategreyskies Oh, I‘ve been wanting to go there for years! I was only a couple blocks away the last time I was in NYC, but couldn‘t go because of the people I was with. I‘m so glad you got to go!! :) 2y
thewallflower0707 @Chrissyreadit it was pure madness 😅 2y
Chrissyreadit Yes!!! That is The Strand. I never go with any expectations. 2y

Was recently in NYC for 24 hours and finally got to hit the Strand Bookstore (on 12th and Broadway — not Columbus which is the only tag option Litsy has) !! I‘m obsessed with my new tote bag ?. As it was 95° and we still had a lot of walking left to do, did not want to schlep lots of books around. So I got the one. Also a Strand sticker and bookmark ?. Hope to get to spend more time there next time — I think we were there only 45 minutes.

TheLudicReader 45 minutes just isn‘t long enough. I need a minimum of two hours, but I am so rarely in NYC I always hope for much longer. 2y
AmyG The Strand is truly one of the best. My tote from there is my absolute favorite. (edited) 2y
LeahBergen Oh, fun! 2y

ValerieAndBooks @TheLudicReader I was glad to at least get the chance to stop there 😊. The trip was for something else and actually the first time we had been in the city since before Covid! (I live near Philadelphia) 2y
ValerieAndBooks @AmyG yes — I think my tote will be my new fave — it has a book-sized pocket on the inside— yours probably does too! 2y
ValerieAndBooks @LeahBergen it definitely was fun but way too short! We had timed dinner plans or I‘d have stayed longer 😂 2y
AmyG Mine zips closed on top…which is why I love it. 2y
DanaManiac Oh fun! My mom would take us there growing up, but I haven‘t been in a few years. Enjoy the book! 2y
ValerieAndBooks @AmyG ooh…even better! Mine does not zip, but I was/am in love with the design I picked out (red is my favorite color 🔴) 2y
ValerieAndBooks @DanaManiac Maybe plan a trip there for the near future 😊?? I have fond memories of my Dad taking me as a kid, to Tower Books in CA where I grew up, but they‘re no longer there 🥲 2y
Suet624 I‘ve yet to experience the pleasure of stepping into the Strand but I‘m really glad you were able to. 2y

Marked this of my #bookbucketlist ! Finally visited the flagship store and was a little overwhelmed. So many great new and used books and bookish goodies! Managed to keep myself under control, mainly due to luggage limits. #travelingreader

Texreader But they ship! That‘s what I did last time I was there. But I still had to limit myself too because well, shipping costs… 2y

1. Yes! Strand Bookstore in NY. It's actually on my bucket list and I WILL go one day 🤓

2. Not usually. I am not a shopper but in a bookstore, I can browse for hours 😀😬

Spent the night in NYC to see “Hamilton” on Broadway. And of course no trip to NYC can ever be complete without a pilgrimage to the Strand. 🙌🏼
