The very last event at Stacey’s Bookstore
As I mentioned in the previous post, Stacey’s Bookstore is going to be closing soon.
Independent bookstores have been struggling for a long time, unable to compete with the rise of mega-chains and online sellers. Stacey’s, which has been on Market Street since 1923, was able to hang on longer than most, but the current bad economy was the final blow.
For Stacey’s very last author event, local writer Cara Black, who writes a mystery series set in Paris, will be talking about her new book, Murder in the Latin Quarter. Several years ago, I heard her talk about her books on a Mystery panel at Books by the Bay (an annual event that was one of my all-time favorites but, alas, is no longer being put on), and she was good.
To honor both the author and the bookstore, French treats and wine will be served.

Such a shame. We’ve lost several good old style Indep. book stores here in town too. Reminds me of that movie with Meg Ryan. Though they all don’t lead to falling in love. lol
