Proprietor
Wayne Conti
discovered
this striking
metalcovered book,
The Machine,
on the floor of
a warehouse
he was hoping
to rent.
What’s nice about
a bookstore
— outside of
the smell — is
browsing.
The idea of the
book you never
knew
existed.
—Wayne Conti
After his friend, painter Jack
Levine, died, Conti made a
section just for Levine’s book
collection and a few mementos.
