Call for Bookstore Photos for the Spring 2003 New Yorker Book Sense Insert
Once again, Book Sense is working with The New Yorker to put together a special spring insert featuring titles selected by independent booksellers. The latest New Yorker Book Sense appearance is set for the May 5 issue, and the emphasis will be on books that make great gifts for Mother's Day, Father's Day, and graduation. To complement the story, the magazine is seeking photographs of bookstores with Book Sense. All Book Sense stores are encouraged to send photographs of their stores, especially good exterior shots.
While a massive blizzard buried the Northeast this past holiday weekend, in southern California, Margie Ghiz, owner of Midnight Special Bookstore in Santa Monica, was weathering her own storm. In a February 17 e-mail, Ghiz told more than 4,000 customers that the store was moving out of its current 5,000-square-foot location on the Third Street Promenade on February 24.
