It is satisfying to think of Fox books losing, though I wholeheartedly agree that the loss of any bookstore is an occasion for mourning.
The number of bookstores in Cambridge was breath-taking. I brought back so many books that my luggage was 12 pounds over weight. Also, when you are next in Chicago, Powel’s near U of Chicago may be my favorite Chicago bookstore (recently unseating Myopic in Wicker Park).
I assumed after this post started by stating that it was a red letter summer it was going to be about how you got to have lunch with me when I was in town.
