Calling All Readers! A Secret Bookstore
For all you book lovers out there- here is a bewitching idea. A secret bookstore (the owner refers to it as illegal) , located somewhere in a private residence in New York City, Brazenhead Books, a used bookstore since the 1970's, has found its way to the recently converted 84th Street apartment of owner Michael Seidenburg (his rent in New York City quadrupled). This venture is fueled by Michael's passion of reading and the his obvious passion for the sacredness of an institution that is quickly disappearing-- the privately owned bookstore. If Michael had followed most private bookstore owners, the doors to Brazenhead Books (see video clip below) would now be closed but instead this curious man has turned the bookstore concept upside down by creating his home into a salon for collectors. How do you find this bookstore? From another disappearing institution--- the phone book!
