I was in San Francisco the other day and there it was, Stacey’s bookstore had closed and was selling the inventory. I think that is a sad day, as this was also a place for the local community to come together.
If you look closer you can read some great quotes: Martin Luther King: History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this so called social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
Next time you are in one of your beloved independent bookstores, buy a book. I heard that Kepler’s in Menlo Park is also struggling.
