Open an Online Bookstore in New York

Strand energy without renting a Manhattan lease.

New York still worships bookstores. The Strand, neighborhood shops, indie authors selling from brownstone stoops — and a million people who will never make it to Broadway and 12th before closing.

BookStand is your online bookstore in NYC: digital delivery that doesn't leak, used copies with condition grades, ship or Brooklyn meetup. Free stand. Stripe checkout. Your URL.
