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 Bookstore, just south of Union Square past the Loews theatre.  Adress online somewhere, sorry.

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.
