Eighteen miles of books is a number that sounds like a boast until you're two hours in, still circling the used fiction floor looking for that one Cheever collection. The rare books room on the third floor is where the real decisions happen. First editions, pristine dust jackets, and price tags that make you think harder about what a book is worth. The canvas tote is half the point: you leave the Strand branded, stack under arm, ready to do it again next week.
