Reading books give me a total sensory experience. The crusty smell of old books doesn't fail to excite me. Being a book sniffer, I never miss second hand bookstores which are rich is musty scents especially Strand Bookstore which is located in Union Square.
It specializes in second hand books and out of print books. Here, you can find mainstream books and reference books as well as classic novels that are not stocked in other bookstores. The bookstore is not beautiful like Barnes&Nobles and Borders but it's more of a huge stock room of books with a soothing atmosphere and at your service employees.
In the basement, you get books at 50% discounted price
No matter how convenient a kindle or blackberry can be, I still never fail to carry a book in my bag; not to be missed out of the total experience.
