After some deliberation, I have decided to post on this thread. I am the individual pursuing the opening of a local, independent book store in Midtown/Auto Alley. I am also looking at uptown, on 23rd street. I LOVE all the feedback so far, but I am hungry for more.

Primarily, this will be a brick and mortar bookstore. Additionally it will provide Readers and creators a space to have fellowship with others. It will be a space for readings, signings, poetry slams, themed book clubs and swaps, etc.

Where would you like to see this establishment? What would you like to walk into the bookstore and find (other than books as I know I need to bring in more to the establishment). Are you interested in bartering your books for beer/wine/coffee? Do you want to read and then sell your book back? Would you like your book to be delivered to your doorstep if this were an option? Do you want more rare books or are you open to new and used?

I look forward to hearing from all of you
