The Strand Bookstore

The Strand Bookstore was founded in 1927 and has operated at its Broadway location since the early 20th century. The independent bookstore is famous for its large inventory, marketed with the slogan '18 miles of books,' and has been a longstanding literary and cultural landmark in Manhattan's East Village/NoHo area. The Strand remains a major destination for new, used, and rare books and hosts public literary events.
