Eager to have a fully stocked library for your home or office? If you don’t actually plan to read those books and you want full shelves just because it looks good, try the Strand Bookstore’s Books by the Foot service. The New York City-based store will sell you books by the foot in whatever style you desire. Try "Antique Leather" for that vintage look… or "Art Books" if your style is more bohemian. Prices run from $10 to $400 per foot. The best customers are set designers for Hollywood movies and stage productions.
