Best Holiday Gift Spot: Dashwood Books NYC
Owner David Strettell, who used to be the Cultural Director at Magnum Photos, opened this fabulous gem-of-a-book store in 2005, and it happens to be NYC's only independent bookstore devoted entirely to photography. Unassuming and quaint on the outside, Dashwood is full of photographic treasures and limited-edition books, that range in price from manageable to almost unattainable! Many important titles, are imported from Japan and Europe and are available for the first time in the NYC at Dashwood. They also specialize in rare vintage books as well as many out-of-print, and impossible to find photo books. This spot is a must-see if you are holiday shopping in the city or just need some amazing inspiration.
