Barnes & Noble Founder's 720 Park Co-op Is for Sale

Leonard Riggio, the founder of the Barnes & Noble chain who died last year, was born in Brooklyn, the son of a cabdriver, but he spent much of his adult life on Park Avenue in a four-bedroom co-op with a private elevator landing that opened onto a 35-foot-long galley lined with custom-built bookshelves. That apartment, at 720 Park Avenue, a classic and prestigious Upper East Side co-op designed by Rosario Candela, just hit the market, asking $17 million. Nikki Field and E. Helen Marcos, of Sotheby's International Realty, have the listing but could not comment as of press time.
