Once upon a time, not so long ago, there was a bookstore that was the best place — often the only place — to find anything on just about everything that had been written, photographed or sketched in regard to New York City. New York Bound did some bounding of its own after it came into being in 1976. It started out at the South Street Seaport, then moved to a fourth-floor apartment on West 54th Street and, finally, to the lobby of 50 Rockefeller Plaza. There, it died in 1997. The landlord declined to renew the lease, and the shop owners simply didn’t have another move in them. Customers lost little time picking through the store’s inventory of more than 5,000 books.
