Their Story -
After working in various parts of the book business for many years, two friends (Gloria and Roberta) decided that Northeast Portland needed a good neighborhood bookstore and that we were the ones to make it happen. We borrowed the money from family and friends. We found a perfect location with a prince of a landlord, enlisted the help of another friend who knew a thing or two about planning and building retail spaces, and set to work. With the help of husbands and sons and friends, we painted and pounded and varnished and generally gussied up part of an old furniture store. Acting as our own contractors, we hired people who built a bathroom and an office and installed a ceiling and a floor and carpeting and wiring and heating and air conditioning. We designed all the fixtures and our friend Mark built them in his garage. We spent three weeks sanding and putting two coats of finish on each and every shelf. We ordered books and more books, we unboxed and shelved, we hired a few good people, and we opened our doors on May 15th. (Read the rest of their Story on their Site)
