The Shakespeare & Co. bookstore in New York City on Lexington Avenue at 68th Street is reopening soon after an extensive renovation that includes the installation of an Espresso Book Machine, DNAinfo reported.
The store was bought earlier this year by Dane Neller, founder of On Demand Books and CEO of Dean & Deluca. Shakespeare had been owned many years by Bill and Steve Kurland, with several locations, including its original store on Broadway on the Upper West Side.
The renovations include a new coffee shop, seating, a restroom and a section devoted to self-published authors. The bookstore will continue to carry textbooks for Hunter College and Marymount Manhattan College.
