Why locals recommend it
The Strand’s vast film section is near the back of the first floor, where the ladder-high shelves are crammed with an amazing mix of popular, rare, and used books. You can find a strong selection of memoirs, screenplay collections, or even books on film scoring. Sometimes you find what you’re looking for. Often you discover something even better. Upstairs in the Rare Book Room, check out valuables like The Adventures of Antoine Doinel: Four Screenplays by Francois Truffaut, inscribed by Truffaut to film critic John Simon for $1,000.

Miles of books! While you’re in the neighborhood, stop by Washington Square Park. Grab a coffee or a slice and enjoy the buzzy NYU neighborhood.

Landmark shop specializing in new, used & rare books from philosophy to finance, plus bookish gifts. Great selection, lots of people ready to help. A beautiful mecca of a bookstore with both new and used books. They have a dedicated desk to sell your used books to get cash or in-store credit. If you're looking for a huge books selection come here. There are 4 floors of books. You can find limited edition books, expensive books and also super cheap books!

My favorite bookstore in Manhattan. "18 miles of books" of books is their motto.
