"Strand is a book lovers Eden. This independent New York Icon of literature has stood the test of time against big chains and deep pockets jocking for the space. Strand stands tall for all of us who believe reading is a fundamental need." - Visualized
"Anytime I’m hunting for a specific title or just moseying to find a beach read, this iconic bookstore never fails—the “Strand” you see on so many NYC tote bags." - Edward Barsamian
"Last season we showed on the Rare Book floor, and many people were not familiar with this department of The Strand—it's a hidden treasure." - The MICHELIN Guide
"New books, used books, rare books, out of print books… today, the Strand carries over 2.5 million of them. You can buy “books by the foot” to fill your library, rent them for sets, stage, or photo shots, or sell them your books for cash or store credit. The last of the Greenwich Village “book row”, it was named after the famous London street where all the publishers were located." - 345 Design
