We saw a news article last week that the legendary Strand book store in Manhattan was struggling due to lack of walk-in customers, so today we drove in and bought some books!

The wife got a cookbook and a book with cool knitting tricks. I got a book about William R. Murrow, The Cartel by Don Winslow, a photography book, and the memoirs of one Norman Harris, proprietor of Norman’s Rare Guitars in Encino, CA.

And a cool book bag, of which they have hundreds of different designs. Hopefully, it helps. NYC without the Strand would not be good.
