Terrific guide to little-known bookstores

If you are a book lover, and are visiting New York City (or if you live there!) don't miss this terrific book. Venture beyond Barnes and Noble, and find specialty bookstores of every kind, from cookbooks to yoga, from a tiny bookstall to the Strand. Some of the information is out of date, since bookstores move or even go out of business, so supplement this with an up-to-date copy of the yellow pages, but don't miss this book! If browsing through dusty bookshelves is your idea of heaven, this book will be an invaluable reference, I use mine every time I go into the city.
