Row: An Anecdotal and Pictorial History of the Antiquarian Book Trade
by Roy
Meador
Book Description
The city has eight million stories, and this one unfolds
just south of 14th Street in Manhattan, mostly on the seven blocks of Fourth
Avenue bracketed by Union Square and Astor Place. There, for nearly eight
decades, from the 1890s to the 1960s, thrived the New York Booksellers'
Row, or, more commonly, Book Row. This illustrated memoir features historical
photographs and is richly anecdotal, and as American as the rags-to-riches
tale of the Strand, which began its life as a book stall on Eighth Street
and today houses 2.5 million volumes in twelve miles of space. A story
cast with colorful characters: like the book dealer George D. Smith; the
irascible Russian-born book hunter Peter Stammer, the visionary Theodore
C. Schulte; Lou Cohen, founder of the still-surviving Argosy Book Store;
gentleman bookseller George Rubinowitz and his legendarily shrewish wife,
Jenny, Book Row remembers names and places that all lovers, readers, buyers,
sellers, and collectors of books should never forget. Rising rents, street
crime, urban redevelopment, television are many of the reasons for the
demise of Book Row, but in this volume, based on interviews with dozens
of the people who bought, sold, and collected there, it lives again.

A
Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for
Books
by Nicholas A. Basbanes
What a delightful book about books and people who love books! As a
second generation bibliophile, a possible bibliomane who had several people
move out of my house a year ago because they erroneously believed that
my books were taking over the household, and a devout employee of "Earth's
Biggest Bookstore," I can vouch that Basbanes accurately describes the
glorious role of book collectors as archivists of human knowledge, and
-- in continual counterpoint -- sometimes pathologically obsessed book
junkies. Amazon.com
