I've been going to the strand since I was a little kid. My father has alwasy loved that store. We would go from Barnes and Noble (they used to have a section of books for 29 cents, 49 cents or 69 cents) and from there we'd go to strand. Often when any of us were looking for an out of print book Strand would have it. The only problem with them is that while they have a cheap paperback and hardcover section outside of the store, the prices on the books inside are not always the best bargains you can find.
