On the Fence

The "Store Closing" sign went up and people started coming in and really buying books! The 50% off sale has been a successful motivator, too. With money coming in, we can pay bills and get some new arrivals in hopes of keeping the momentum going. If we keep making money and continue digging our way out of the hole, we will be in a much better position when we do close. We are under no grand illusions, however, and have our exit strategy ready to implement. Ever walked a tight rope?
We have had many inquiries about the store fixtures. The email newsletter subscribers will get the initial announcement about when these will be for sale. To sign up for the newsletter send an email to info@berkmanbooks.com. Again, this is a nebulous date. We will keep you posted.

On to the fun part!
