  Some of the best are the large museum bookstores (such as the Metropolitan
  Museum of Art - the corner of 5th Avenue and 82nd).  The Strand  (down on 4th
  Street and 828 Broadway) has a great art section, but because it carries used
  books you'll need to spend time digging around the piles.  Try also Ursus at
  981 Madison Avenue (it's on a top floor of a hotel, of which I can't remember
  the name, but it's around 50th Street.  Also, Ther's Acanthus Books, at 48
  West 22nd Street, #4, which specializes in antiques, Antiquarian Booksellers
  International, at Place des Antiquares #48, 125 East 57th Street, Argosy
  Bookstore at 116 East 59th Street, Hacker Art Books, at 54 West 57th Street,
  Harmer Johnson Books at 38 East 64th Street specializes in archaeology,
  Rizzoli at 31 West 57th has more textbooks, and Witterborn Art Books at 1018
  Madison Avenue.

  Hope this helps!
