Much to the glee of book lovers, the Strand Book Store is set to open the doors to its new Upper West Side location next month. Ahead of the grand reveal, the institution’s owner Nancy Bass Wyden offered a glance into what the new location at 450 Columbus Avenue will look like.

In a video, Wyden walks viewers through what will become the home of the Strand’s first satellite store since the closing of its Financial District annex in 2008. The new space — previously occupied by Book Culture until this past January, when the store abruptly shuttered — is light and airy, with shelves poised to be filled with a selection of books that Wyden stated are in the process of being purchased.

Special sneak preview of @strandbookstore at Columbus Ave! The space was previously occupied by a wonderful bookstore, so we’re really looking forward to making this space our own. So much to do! 📖 #indiebookstore pic.twitter.com/wrbDO0EYDC — Nancy Bass Wyden (@nancybasswyden) February 24, 2020

Similar to the offerings at the flagship location, the Columbus Ave. store will host events with authors and other notable guests. For this purpose, Wyden pointed out that the wall back-dropping such gatherings will be coated in the “million dollar Strand Red,” which she identified on a Pantone swatch.

The lower level of the store, Wyden revealed, will be dedicated to children’s literature and educational materials. Younger guests can also expect story time and other activities in the space.

The Strand announced the expansion earlier this month. The move follows on the heels of the recent landmark designation of the 826 Broadway flagship store, a decision met with discontent by Wyden. The new store at Columbus Ave. is set to open in March.
