My biggest staple obsession since arriving in New York is STRAND Bookstore.

Located within Union Square, this mecca of book diving at reduced prices is beyond.
Beyond. Just take a look at my goodreads list (like a laundry, baby) and you'll realize just how many pages of goodies I've acquired. Murakami for $4? Check. Sartre's The Fall for $5? Check. Hardcover Deluxe by Dana Thomas (originally $30) for $5.75 (blasphemous, really.)? Check. And these are just the leaflets that satisfy my cravings. There are four floors of old books, new books, used books, about American history, science fiction, mystery, romance, classics, architecture - they have everything. They have everything at Costco prices, people. COSTCO PRICES. And there aren't any Costco's in Manhattan.

*SIGH* How I miss Strand Bookstore.....this place was for me, THE best place to go to when you are an avid reader with a Uni (say nonexistent) budget. So glad you are taking advantage of it.
