In a surprising turn of events, Cooper Union has announced that they will be lowering the rent of St. Mark's Bookshop, allowing the store to stay in business. This is contrary to the announcement I posted last week, and is wonderful (if not particularly capitalistic) news. I've been following this story since the inception of the blog and have to say, I'm pretty pleased.
BlogHer ran an interesting story about Roxanne Coady, the owner of R.J. Julia Booksellers (pictured left) in Connecticut. It's a pretty inspirational read.
And finally, simply because I haven't posted anything about indie bookstores in the UK for awhile, the BBC published this article about The Book Barge. It's a travelling bookshop the owner is using to promote indie bookselling.
