Strand, but it helps to know exactly what you want. It's huge.

But not close to Central Park. If you want best in the world, that opens the field.

Pretty much anything in Manhattan is "close to Central Park" if you're willing to take a train ride. You can get from 59th to downtown in mere minutes.

Once in a while Kinokuniya on 6th Ave between 40th & 41st has some awesome photo books. Last time I was there I found a camera collector book, I think on Leica M. Many of the titles are in Japanese.
The Leica Gallery at 670 Broadway usually has some excellent and rare titles for sale. Occasionally they have a sale of books at very reduced prices.
