Friends and customers help bookstore move across the street

This is how we moved, too: dozens of customers hefted books into and out of boxes, boxes into and out of trucks; furniture into and out of buildings.

TL;DR: people who shop at independent bookstores are the best.

PS: Don't worry, we'll never move again. NEVER.

It's getting really slippery out. Please be careful on your way home, especially those of you who are driving. For anyone who decides to stay in, we have lots of new books to keep you company.
