Idlewild Books . NYC
Idlewild Books wasn’t my little rainy day find. I saw a post on Lonely Planet about this new bookstore and it seemed like my type of place. I made sure to stop by while in New York last fall.
Idlewild is a self described “bookstore about places.” Their categories are arranged by location, from continent down to region and country. Along with the standard selection of travel guidebooks are history books, travel writing, and some fiction. All by local and well known authors, and all sorted right down to the country.
You can find them on in the narrow canyon like street of 12 West 19th Street, just west of 5th Avenue.
