Spend an extra 15 minutes and check out the dollar racks outside.. Some gems hidden amongst the old Zagat guides.

AnthonyAugust 20, 2014I don't know why I bother with Barnes and nobles. This place is cheaper and lovelier
This place is making us employees angry. They want to slash our personal days in half & enforce a wage freeze until the end of 2014.
Stand outside in the hot NYC summer afternoon and browse their endless racks of $1 books!

Borbala MajorSeptember 29, 2015DO NOT SELL YOUR BOOKS HERE.The Strand has a new policy on buying books. Once you walked through their door they own your books and pay you whatever they wish after their 'appraisal' Nasty.

Matt KeeverMarch 4, 2013I like to cubby myself in the kids section where no one goes and read comics
JauntedApril 26, 2010The tables in the aisle are often packed high with new books at slightly cheaper prices. Look down, if the table has a bottom area, for used versions for way cheaper.
David DownsJuly 15, 2010Free your mind. Don't look for a specific book, because you won't find it. Let the books find you!
