Before the death last week of legendary bookseller Michael Seidenberg, founder of Brazenhead Books, Untapped Cities had started putting together a list of the "top 10 hidden bookstores in NYC."
"We had been in the midst of communicating with him to feature Brazenhead when we heard the news," Untapped Cities wrote. "This article will conclude with a tribute to Brazenhead, though it is no longer in operation. It was a space that was characteristically New York, founded by a quintessentially New York New Yorker. So take a break from buzz of the city, and dip into one of these off the beaten path but well-worth-the-trip bookstores."
