Cheshire Bookshop's New Owner Raring to Go
Linda Rosengarten, a graduate of the Bookseller School presented by Paz & Associates this fall, is the new owner of Cheshire Bookshop in Fort Bragg, California. Previously the executive director of a nonprofit organization, Rosengarten was ready for a new career when her long-time friend Howard Martin was looking to sell the 30-year-old store. She quickly moved to purchase Cheshire, and, like many new booksellers, was somewhat surprised by the learning curve. "It's hard," Rosengarten explained.
