Argosy Book Store

The Argosy Book Store is an antiquarian bookshop on East 59th Street in Manhattan, founded in 1925 and occupying six floors of its own building.

Why it matters

Included because it owns its building, which is why an antiquarian bookshop still exists on a Midtown block where nothing comparable could pay rent.
