{"product_id":"9781911663027-secondhand-literary-landscapes-new-york-a-book-lovers-tour-of-the-city-that","title":"Literary Landscapes: New York: A book-lover's tour of the city that","description":"A beautiful photographic stroll around the bookshops, restaurants, literary locations and authors' neighbourhoods in the Big Apple.   Literary Landscapes: New York  is the follow-up to  Literary Landscapes: Paris  and contains a familiar blend of  everything precious to the bibliophile - a blend of quirky bookstores, authors' favourite bars, grand libraries , storied hotels, on- and off-Broadway theatres, New York residences and literary locations. For  beloved bookstores  there is the Argosy, dating to 1925 and the oldest in Manhattan, Three Lives \u0026amp; Company in West Village, The Strand in East Village, The Corner Bookstore on the Upper East Side, the Alabaster Bookshop, and, stretching across to Brooklyn, the Greenlight Bookstore. LL:NYC  takes you inside  restaurants and bars like Sardi's  - birthplace of the Tony Award; the Algonquin Hotel and the White Horse Tavern, Dylan Thomas's last night out in the Big Apple. When it comes to  hotels ,  The Plaza appears in F. Scott Fitzgerald's  The Great Gatsby,  but it is the Chelsea Hotel that has the most literary resonance. Mark Twain stayed there, Arthur Miller wrote there, as did Arthur C. Clarke and Simone de Beauvoir. Literary locations are aplenty  in New York - from  Breakfast at Tiffany's  by Truman Capote to Washington Square by Henry James. The book takes a short trip up Long Island to visit  Walt Whitman's birthplac e and while nothing but plaques remain of the New York homes that Herman Melville knew, we visit the  literary giants  buried alongside Melville in Woodlawn Cemetery. All these chapters are interspersed with telling quotes about the city that never sleeps.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48760390189275,"sku":"9781911663027-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/426c9919-99fb-4e20-8519-816939b582a3_1971770d-b7b3-4e3a-8285-c5904d64b45e.jpg?v=1778435789","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781911663027-secondhand-literary-landscapes-new-york-a-book-lovers-tour-of-the-city-that","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
