Have you spent any time at Rizzoli Mark?
<http://www.rizzoliusa.com/bookstore.html>

It's been decades since i set foot in Manhattan.
I was at the original store and ended up spending a day there.
Records (yes lp's) art, architecture, photography titles unavailable  
anywhere else.
(not to mention outstanding shelving and decor)

looks like a sale through June 15th
