Opened in 1920 by the late Frances Steloff, a champion of authors and anti-censorship, this shop has been the heart and soul of the New York literary community ever since. Patrons have included Arthur Miller, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Thornton Wilder and Tennessee Williams. The dusty shelves are filled with both new and used titles, and you can almost smell the history. Once you take the two steps down from the street into the store, you will know that you are in another world, where the written word is sacred and the author is king. Special note - their poetry section is incomparable. Review © 2009, Wcities |
