Shouldn't this be the nolibs/fishtown topic.

Anyway I can't recall the name of the bookstore up there kitty corner to the tap. It was a little place but it was pretty cool, they are closed as of sunday.

The lady working said that they are re-opening in a building nearby but that would probably take years...

Another book store bites the dust. I d/n see the big jar bookstore in old city on sunday, did I just walk by it? It it gone as well?

Will it be leveled for overpriced/underbuilt condos?

She didn't mention that. She said the owner of the building owned the building next door, across the lot, and they'd move there when it had been re-vamped. He was tired of paying rent I guess. So anyway that space, which is pretty nice is available.

Sher Books? I believe it's forever closed...

No, it shouldn't be both! Two different communities, two different sets of issues.

Hey now there is a manayuck/east falls/rox something or other topic. Where is the no-libs topic? We all know fishtown was just bolted on to the back of the no-libs gentrification. Where's the love?

I remember reading a piece on the guy who owns Sher Books - he has sort of a novel way of doing business - it's sort of like you have to make an appointment to buy a book.

I guess it didn't work out to well. They had a decent little selection and the books were in good shape in general. I'm sorry to see them go. There is a severe shortage of bookstores in Philly. Winter is coming too. We need some books!
