What is the best place to purchase used fine art photography books in New York City?

I am traveling to NYC and I am wondering if there is a best place to find used fine art photography books or books on photography theory?

Strand Book Store on lower Broadway, near 10th Street, in the Village.

They have a great art book section, including photography.

Also, the bookstore at the Museum of Modern Art. They have a good photography section, if I remember correctly.

And you might try the bookstore at the Museum for the International Center of Photography on 6th Avenue (that’s Avenue of the Americas if you are from out of town) somewhere in the West 40s.

EDIT:

I just realized that you said “used”. Well, if that’s the case, definitely go to the Strand. They have both used and new, and their used fine arts books are fantastic!!!!

The other two places I mentioned only sell new books. But the Strand is definitely what you want!

Jim Croce Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits $6.85 Until his untimely death, Jim Croce was a force to be reckoned with on radio playlists. Photographs & Memories repackages some of his best work. Romantic acoustic-oriented songs were his hallmark, and songs like “Time in a Bottle,” were huge hits because of their easy sentimentality. “I Got a Name” was the singer as well-worn folk traveler, while “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” and even “You Don’t Mess Aro…

Miracle $5.20 In collaborating on Miracle, Celine Dion and her partner in baby love Anne Geddes carefully sidestepped the L-word–a smart move, considering that the songs captured here, despite their electric-blanket warmth, aren’t always lullaby-like in their delivery. Though the collaboration is about babies–the liner notes to this CD provide a sneak peek at Geddes’ visual wizardry available in both the expa…

The Art of Photography (Paperback) $59.92 This is an updated and newly revised edition of the classic book The Art of Photography (originally published in 1994), which has often been described as the most readable, understandable, and complete textbook on photography. With well over 100 beautiful photographic illustrations in both black-and-white and color, as well as numerous charts, graphs, and tables, this book presents the world of photography to beginner, intermediate, and advanced photographers seeking to make a personal statement through the medium of photography. Without talking down to anyone, or talking over anyone`s head, Barnbaum presents "how to" techniques for both traditional and digital approaches. Yet he goes well beyond the technical, as he delves deeply into the philosophical, expressive, and creative aspects of photography so often avoided in other books. Bruce Barnbaum is recognized as one of the world`s finest landscape and architectural photographers, and for decades has been considered one of the best instructors in the field of photography. This latest incarnation of his textbook, which has evolved, grown, and been refined over the past 35 years, will prove to be an ongoing, invaluable photographic reference for years to come. It is truly the resource of choice for the thinking photographer.
