Help save one of the world's most beautiful bookstores and maintain the character of New York

Thank you

Thanks to YOU....so many hideous new buildings are crowding out the truly glorious ones....I just signed the petition..

The last of the beautiful bookstores that used to line Fifth Avenue. Remember Scribner's?

I do remember Scribner's.

Idlewild has a very nice facade but a surprisingly lackluster collection.

Signed it.

Signed and posted on my FB page.

I love Rizzoli. I review books for them from time to time.

I'll never forget seeing Jackie Onassis going into Rizzoli wearing an Hermes scarf and smoking a cigarette. She flicked the cigarette into the street before opening the door.

I always bought my FACE magazines at Rizzoli.

Once, whilst standing in line at the till, a man in front of me said out loud, "Oh, this music coming over the sound system is so elegant, so beautiful. I wish I knew what it is!"

And I piped up and replied, "It is Prokofiev, The Montagues and the Capulets."

Oh, well, he was so impressed and grateful, he paid for my book and two magazines.

I love New York stories!

Scribner's is now Sephora.

They did have the most beautiful windows last Christmas.
