Help Davis Get a Bookstore!

[elfword.livejournal.com]

Davis Square hasn't had a bookstore since McIntyre & Moore moved out almost a year ago. I and a group of others are sharing ideas, connections, and effort to try and bring a bookstore to Davis Square.

If you're a fellow book-lover that'd like to see an indie bookstore (with a sizable used books section) make its home in Davis, you should come to our first meetup, this upcoming Monday (3/22) at 7:00 PM, in Blue Shirt Cafe. We'll have a sign on a table or two announcing who we are.

For more info, or to show someone you think would be interested, please check out: http://bit.ly/davisbookstore

As the site says, two of our top priorities are:

1. Finding a bookstore starter (someone that can open a bookstore, a current bookstore owner that wants to expand or move, or a chain) and convincing them.
2. Helping a bookstore starter get the resources they need to open a bookstore (capital, location, inventory).

If you have any ideas about either of these, please comment!

Re: More Bookstores

Exactly my point. They're customer's might want to visit/be clued in to other area stores and vice versa. It's the draw of multiple shops that book addicts yearn for.

Please google them and you'll see they have a few other specialty areas not about Ireland or Arthurian legend. Just because they specialize does not mean they don't have any other interesting books.

Less to you and more to everyone, just go check them out, go browse, go talk to the owner, and learn. What you learn makes word of mouth such a powerful tool.
