WHERE: Strand Books


In 1927, Ben Bass opened Strand Book Store on Fourth Avenue, home of New York’s legendary Book Row. The family still owns this famous Union Square store, which features more than 18 miles of books on its crammed shelves. Decorators, set designers and bibliophiles of all stripes appreciate the Strand’s “Books by the Foot” service, whereby the store’s experts create personalized libraries on almost any topic (clients include the Waldorf-Astoria, Steven Spielberg and Polo Ralph Lauren). Alexa Hampton said, “Working with The Strand is a joy, to the designer in me and to the book lover.”
