Goods for the Study: McNally Jackson Store in New York - Remodelista
All bookstores stand at the ready with reading suggestions. Reading is not the focus here, but perusing its fully accessorized desks, stitched notebooks, tapered steel scissors, and wood-capped erasers is every bit as enthralling as getting lost in a great book. Photographs by David Brandon Geeting, unless noted. Photograph by Driely S. via Melting Butter.
