After twenty-three years in the Carlyle Hotel, and having persevered against warehouse-bookstore and e-reader odds, Ursus Books is moving to a landmark location: 699 Madison Avenue, 3rd Floor, between 62nd and 63rd Streets.
Steve Martin, Mary Louise Parker and cultural connoisseurs count Ursus among their favorite places to shop. Established in 1972, the comprehensive selection of fine antique decorative prints, art reference books and superb copies of rare books in all fields attract readers, writers and shoppers worldwide.
Located nine blocks from MoMA, Ursus' new location at 699 Madison occupies the third floor of the landmark building, originally built to house Fortnum and Mason in New York.
Whether a thought provoking gift or a rare set of books to adorn a library, Ursus strives to inspire others to share their passion for books and prints. The knowledgeable and friendly staff is always available to help with ideas and answer questions. If first editions strike your fancy, Ursus has an inscribed and signEd Martin Luther King Jr's, Stride Toward Freedom; for theatre lovers, a desirable fifteenth printing of Edward Albee's play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, signed by Edward Albee, Uta Hagen and cast. There's something for everyone.
