New York's best
Best places to get a book for less than $10
- The Strand
How many miles of books is it again? Eight? Ten? Whatever. The store is well stocked, and if you’re looking for titles that are more than a year old, you have a good chance of finding them here far cheaper than at most bookstores. 828 Broadway at 12th St (212-473-1452, strandbooks.com) - Atlantic Books
This carefully stocked store, though not quite busting at the seams, is a browser’s dream. Atlantic St at Henry St, Brooklyn Heights - The New York Public Library, Central Branch
It’s not just cheap, it’s free. 455 Fifth Ave at 42nd St (212-340-0833, nypl.org)
As good or better than Atlantic Books (sorry) and only a couple of blocks away are two other long standing Brooklyn "browser's dreams": 1. The Community Bookstore: 212 Court St., Brooklyn, NY 11201 at Warren St. 2. Heights Books:120 Smith St. Also, a little farther away, it's Unnamable Books: 600 Vanderbilt Ave.
