Though I've only ever been there once. My daughter and I spend a happy afternoon there years ago and I've never forgotten it. The books!!!!! I had to control myself to keep from blowing my monthly budget in one day. Ha. You know how that goes. The Strand is a paradise of a book store. Plain and simple. Thanks for this wonderful post.
