In New York City (and beyond), The Strand Bookstore is something of a legend. Just as Portland, OR has Powell’s, New York has Strand. Boasting 18 miles of books, Strand has a little something for everyone. Since the 1970s, each employee-hopeful has had to pass a literary matching quiz in order to join the ranks. Isn’t that cool? What a fun way to guarantee knowledgeable, well-read staff who can give customers great recommendations.
Try the quiz here, if you’d like, and report back your score. (I need to read more classics!) Would you get hired at Strand? What are you reading now?
P.S. Stay tuned for the first post in our New York guide later this week!
