I flew to NY from CA a couple of weeks ago, and while walking 59th, happened upon Argosy... Amazing! I had very little wiggle room in my time between meetings, but I made sure I came back the next morning, also. I'm so impressed, and reading about the family history of the store impressed me even more. Thank you for having such a marvelous bastion of knowledge there in the city! I was truly impressed.
Forget about Paris' Shakespeare Company, Venice Acqua Alta or Buenos Aires' L'ateneo: Argosy Bookstore really has all the content, class and charm, not to mention really book connoisseurs on the staff. The best bookstore I've ever been.
