How to open a bookstore during a pandemic: Prepare for delays and lots of cleaning.
How to open a bookstore during a pandemic: Prepare for delays and lots of cleaning.
“Sales have been strong, particularly considering how much smaller the store is compared to our [Union Square] location.” The pandemic has taught us to be humble and to deepen our appreciation for our institutions.
This is an encouraging sign…a long as people continue to invest in books and just as importantly continue to read books we have a fighting chance. To survive; to build; to dream and to hope.
There’s power in pages.

If you’re Canadian…eh you can enjoy The Booksellers on CBC Gem.
It’s a documentary all “about” New York’s rare book world.
If ya can’t go to bookstores then bring bookstores to you via CBC Docs!
My fav moment is the Library of the History of Human Imagination! I mean look at this place…give me a strong cup of tea and a gloomy rainy day please and thank you!

Bela Lugosi’s Iconic Dracula Returns In Legendary Comics’ New Graphic Novel
Bela Lugosi’s Iconic Dracula Returns In Legendary Comics’ New Graphic Novel
“Bela Lugosi, who was best known for his iconic take on Count Dracula in the 1931 film, will posthumously reprise his role as the vampire for the upcoming graphic novel, Dracula, from Legendary Comics.
Unfortunately “the comic will be an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s original 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula, with art by El Garing.” Would be cool if it was a whole new story you know?
Dracula goes on sale on Oct. 6 from Legendary Comics.
