BookWoman

So, BookWoman might be closing. Their situation is just like the one the fictional book store Madwimmin Books finds itself in in Alison Bechdel's "Dykes To Watch Out For" series. And in the book, the store closes.


Here's what they say:

Dear friends and customers of BookWoman,

My staff and I are so grateful for the outpouring of support being shown to BookWoman. We're still in the early stages, but the many shoppers, contributions, pledges, event plans, and other volunteer activities are tremendously encouraging. This past weekend we had particularly strong sales both at the store and at the Texas Book Festival.

Please check out the new website, www.savebookwoman.com. We're still tweaking it but the key pieces are in place, including a PayPal link for making contributions online and information about volunteer opportunities. We'll be updating it often, posting our fundraising progress and upcoming events.

Also, we have ³Save and Sustain BookWoman² post cards available at the bookstore - and t-shirts are here but going fast!

With your help we can give BookWoman a new lease on life. Thanks so much for all you do.

Peace,
Susan

I've never been there, but this makes me wish I had a bigger paycheck. And it makes me hate the internet. I'll try to buy some xmas presents there.
