Happy Independent Bookstore Day!!

 

Brattle Bookstore in Boston, MA is a Bookstore I Want to Visit!!

I don't think I'd ever heard of Brattle Book Shop in Boston until Memorial Day weekend this year. 

I would love to visit this book shop, which is billed as one of America's oldest antiquarian book shops according to Brattle Book Shop's website. Brattle Book Shop was established in 1825.

According to Brattle Book Shop's website:

Welcome to one of America's oldest and largest used book shops. The Brattle features two floors of general used books, a third floor of rare and antiquarian books and an outside sale lot.

The above, short video shows the outside sale lot at Brattle Book Shop. I wish the video showed what the inside space of Brattle Book Shop looks like as well.

Have any of my readers visited the Brattle Book Shop before? I'd be curious to hear about your experience there.

CELEBRATE INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY 2020 VIRTUALLY THIS YEAR!!

I discovered a good article online through Book Riot's website titled, CELEBRATE INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY 2020 VIRTUALLY: FOUR MEANINGFUL THINGS YOU CAN DO FROM HOME by Stacey Megally. In the article, Stacey Megally wrote the following:

If you love indie bookshops as much as I do, then Independent Bookstore Day might as well be your birthday. It’s a gift, after all, to spend the day wandering around your favorite indie bookstores with all the other book nerds out there, browsing and stocking up on new stories to dive into.

Independent Bookstore Day 2020 has been rescheduled from April to August 29 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but if you’re still social distancing, don’t worry: there are plenty of ways to celebrate virtually. In fact, you might even find that shopping from home opens up a world of possibilities for finding, supporting, and interacting with indie bookstores you might never have known about otherwise.

So, grab your laptop and TBR list and get ready for an unforgettable Independent Bookstore Day 2020.
