Manhattan’s best book stores

I was in the Big Apple for just 24 hours. During that time I had five what I call, "meet-greet-and eat" events with individual alumni or trustees. I walked all over the city from 12th to 71st Street. Just by chance three of these meetings were near three iconic books stores. Shakespeare and Co, Argosy, and Strand Books, which I closed down at 10:30 pm ... a delightful bonus on a long work day.

How can a bibliophile not enjoy, "18 miles of books," as Strand describes itself.
