Working at the Bookstore

Well, At Least Hanging Around…

Dan has all the construction and moving plans under control and over the next five days we will be moving a ton of books and shelves. This is part of what the North by Northwest Bookstore Kickstarter paid for.

Movers will be coming in to do the heavy lifting for a time. And we are taking a ton of shelves out of Kris and my house here on the coast that we are getting rid of. We still need to build more.

The new area is huge, if you haven’t gotten that idea. Here is what it looks like at the moment from the edge of the main room.

The store has a front room, a main room, a secondary room, and now this huge new space. Hundreds of thousands of books.

And as I said, this new area, once done, will open up the space we need for indie books. Stay tuned here later this fall for that announcement.

    It’s exciting to watch the expansion of the North by Northwest Bookstore. Thanks for sharing the photos as the project moves forward! I’m eager to see more and to hear about how you will implement the plan for indie books.
