An illustrated guide to New York City tailored for the book-obsessed explorer showcasing the city's best bookshops; libraries; homes and haunts of world-famous writers; and scenes from literary classics with charming drawings by the famed New Yorker cover artist Pierre Le-Tan. A Booklover's Guide to New York is a love letter to everything literary in New York City. It is a book all about books. The book is an object in itself, designed as the ultimate little tome any book collector would love to acquire, layered with witty Pierre Le-Tan drawings, as well as photographs of some of the most precious bookish locations.
Rediscover New York in the most fashionably literate way: whether you are in need of an exceptionally rare edition of your favorite novel (perhaps to be found in the dark and musty backroom of The Center for Fiction), or the most tranquil place to devour a short story on a wintry day (an empty underground food court in a Midtown skyscraper), or if you are looking to follow in the footsteps of a beloved author or novella character (like Capote's Grady and Clyde in Central Park Zoo), this will be your ultimate companion.
Part guide, part sophisticated scrapbook and part desirable object, A Booklover's Guide to New York is an absolute must for any book-savvy person--the young bookworm or old scholar, the visiting tourist or homegrown New Yorker, the aspiring writer or doting parent.

About the Author
Cleo Le-Tan is a London born, New York based author who has always loved books. Born into an artistic family of obsessive collectors, she grew up surrounded by books. She published her first novel Une Famille with Grasset in 2013. Since then, she moved to New York and has been carefully exploring all the literary hideouts and secrets of the city, hoping to put them all together in a compelling journal-like collaboration she is working on with the visual help of her father.

Since then, he has had multiple art exhibits all around the world, decorated restaurants, hotels, film sets and has written dozens of books. He lives in Paris, surrounded by hundreds and hundreds (if not thousands) of books, rare artwork and all kinds of bizarre objects.
