It‘s fantastic. I now know there‘s library in the Met & NY that the New Society Library ( set in an opulent brownstone) is open to the public. It also includes a few author homes & bars. But mostly it covers stores of every type in every boroug. There‘s a very interesting one devoted to old cookbooks that I want to see even though I hate to cook. Clearly aimed at book-obsessed people ( guilty), the book itself is gorgeous.
