For the New York Public Library, you can go online to NYPL.org and do a search. Once you find a book you want, you can put it on reserve and you can designate which branch you want for pick-up.

Otherwise, the best store is Kitchen Arts & Letters on Lex and 93rd.

Used cookbooks. Great place.

You shouldn't eat grouse and woodcock, venison, a quail and dove pate, abalone and oysters, caviar, calf sweetbreads, kidneys, liver, and ducks all during the same week with several cases of wine. That's a health tip.

The Strand is an interesting place specializing in used books and reviewer copies. They also appear to have current books discounted, but I don't think they're going to be a source of "most pastry books in circulation." Nevertheless great for serendipidous browsing.

JB Prince (36 E. 31st St, Manhattan) carries a selection of professional pastry books, though I think you would find more at a an online source like chipsbooks.com.
