Question by flighter@rogers.com: What is the best place to purchase used fine art photography books in New York City?
I am traveling to NYC and I am wondering if there is a best place to find used fine art photography books or books on photography theory?

Strand Book Store on lower Broadway, near 10th Street, in the Village.

They have a great art book section, including photography.

Also, the bookstore at the Museum of Modern Art. They have a good photography section, if I remember correctly.

And you might try the bookstore at the Museum for the International Center of Photography on 6th Avenue (that’s Avenue of the Americas if you are from out of town) somewhere in the West 40s.

EDIT:

I just realized that you said “used”. Well, if that’s the case, definitely go to the Strand. They have both used and new, and their used fine arts books are fantastic!!!!

The other two places I mentioned only sell new books. But the Strand is definitely what you want!
