I was in there not too long ago, picking up tickets for Band Swap. I browsed a bit, coming across a bunch of cool books including an interesting-looking volume of Graham Greene non-fiction. I didn’t buy it because I felt it was bad form to buy something for myself so close to Christmas. I take full responsibility for this news.
In all seriousness, this is sad. Buy the Book is a great store run by great folks and will be missed.
Goddamnit.
You are bang on when you say ” Buy the Book is a great store run by great folks and will be missed.”
SO SAD about this. Anyone know what’s happening to it? (I could give the books a good home…)
Sorry to see, and good luck in future.
Bookselling on 13th ain’t easy, but it can be fun.
How long have they been operating?
It was a father-son operation and had been around for 18 years.
Gord! Come back! 13th needs Buzzword Book 2!
So they started after I left town.
