January 31, 2005: New York's Strand Book Store Featured in Today's New York Sun Newspaper
"The rare book department on the third floor is probably the largest in New York, and has the musty smell that is catnip to bibliophiles. A vault holds the rarest of the rare. The store's inventory includes incunabula (early printed books, dating back to 1500 or before), with the oldest a leather-bound volume with bronze clasps that is an intricately decorated commentary on the Psalms printed in 1480 in Cologne, Germany."
