Timing is everything, but during the pandemic, it largely hasn’t been on the side of businesses. So I was recently surprised to see The Strand, whose iconic storefront in Union Square attract…
"Sales have been strong, particularly considering how much smaller the store is compared to our [Union Square] location." The pandemic has taught us to be humble and to deepen our appreciation for our institutions. This is an encouraging sign...a long as people continue to invest in books and just as importantly continue to read books we have a fighting chance. To survive; to build; to dream and to hope.
There's power in pages.

If you're Canadian...eh you can enjoy The Booksellers on CBC Gem.
It's a documentary all "about" New York's rare book world.
If ya can't go to bookstores then bring bookstores to you via CBC Docs!
My fav moment is the Library of the History of Human Imagination! I mean look at this place...give me a strong cup of tea and a gloomy rainy day please and thank you!

The critically-acclaimed series returns in November
"Once upon a time there was a little boy named Gus. He had antlers and lived with his father in a little cabin in the woods," reads DC's description of the original Vertigo series. "Then his father died, and the big man with cold eyes took Gus away. Gus went on many great adventures, found friends, love, happiness, family, and acceptance.” It sounds like Forrest Gump however Sweet Tooth is classic Lemire. (And I cannot articulate why or how but it is incredibly Canadian.) Highly Recommended Reading and I’m glad it’s coming back. ~ Sammy Younan
