Bestsellers Cafe in Medford Square also closed, last week.

I can't say I'm at all surprised.

I'm not either considering they launched an IndieGoGo fundraising campaign in 2013 that only garnered them a few hundred dollars. It's still sad to see the store close. I purchased many books, DVDs and CDs there and really liked chatting with Gil.

Ditto, but it's still a bummer.

I'm sad to see another independent book store and locally-owned business close. Gil is a great guy, and I'm glad to see the book clubs are viable.
