Day One! I have officially taken over ownership of the shop today. All kinds of bittersweet—thrilled to be starting this new adventure; but I’d be lying if I didn’t confess some disequilibrium finding myself no longer employed by Windows Booksellers for the first time in 17 years.

On to the work though … this wall I’m hiding behind here will be gone next week if all goes to plan. My goal is to open up the interior for more visible browsing and to make the space more amenable to readings and other events. Then painting the exterior, sorting and shelving a few thousand books in storage … and hopefully back open with a party at the end of the month!

Will be posting progress updates here. In the mean time, catch us at the Rose City Book & Paper Fair June 17-18.

Thanks for all the support and good wishes, friends. See you soon!

Seriously, if you can walk into Mitch’s shop and not buy a book, you either don’t have a pulse or you don’t like books. Maybe both! It is the best shop anywhere for fiction, and a lot of other things too.

Oh, and $5 grocery bagfuls outside after 1:00.

If you haven’t heard, we have a bit of a metamorphosis ahead of us. Our longtime bookseller Adam McInturf will be taking over ownership June 1. After a few weeks in a cocoon of remodeling and restocking, we will be re-emerging as Arches Bookhouse at the end of June.

Speaking of Arches, might as well follow the new page! .

See you tomorrow!
