Sidney Karger + Anderson Cooper: Best Men

Strand Book Storewas born in 1927 on Fourth Avenue on what was then called “Book Row,” an area that covered six city blocks and housed forty-eight bookstores. Our founder Benjamin Bass was all of twenty-five years old when he began his modest used bookstore and sought to create a place where books would be loved, and book lovers could congregate. Ninety years and a move over to Broadway, the Strand is still run by the Bass Family and is home to four floors of over 2.5 million used, new, and rare books, a wide array of bookish gifts, and fun literary events held almost every night of the week. From the dollar carts outside to the Rare Book Room on the third floor, and cheeky graffiti-ing throughout the store courtesy of Steve “EPSO” Powers, the iconic store now stands testament a place for book lovers to explore.

A thirty-something living in New York City, all he wants is to meet his Prince Charming. But when his childhood best friend, Paige, gets engaged before him and asks him to be her man of honor, Max’s world is turned upside down. Enter Paige’s soon to be brother-in-law, Chasten. Not only is he super-hot, charming, and really good at wedding planning, but he also happens to be Max’s recent epically bad one-night stand. Suddenly Paige has two gay best friends, and no matter how hard Max tries to be the best man of honor, he falls short. As the wedding nears, the two men must learn how to work together to make sure their friend gets hitched without a hitch. Max and Chasten may be like oil and water, but their chemistry is undeniable. Can they move past their rivalry and have a love story of their own?
