Illustrator Bob Eckstein was commissioned by The New Yorker to draw his favorite bookstores in New York City.
Eckstein sent the editorial team these sketches, providing additional commentary on why he loves them, as well as some of the fond memories he has had while browsing the shelves.
Have a look at some of his sketches below, or keep up with this lovely series on The New Yorker.
