It is with great sadness that we share the news that long-time bookseller Ben McFall passed away yesterday, December 22nd. We cannot begin to count the number of lives touched by Ben's wit and knowledge in his 40+ years working at The Strand. His desk on the main floor, just beyond the cooking section, was a familiar space that fellow booksellers and customers alike visited often seeking his singular advice. We feel honored to have known him, and hope you will join us as we celebrate Ben's life. Photo Credit: Julie Glassberg for The New York Times.
