Another bookmark for the series.
I just found this in a book I bought during my only visit to Elliott Bay Books (and to Seattle), in 2014.

Another bookmark just resurfaced, this time from Blue Whale in Charlottesville, where I spent some time in the summer of 2000.
I found this in a used book I bought recently. The bookstore is still around.
This just turned up in an old book.
Later replaced by Borders, which also closed (sometime in the aughts?) and Kitchen Window expanded into the space. Kitchen Window, in turn, didn’t survive the pandemic…
This just turned up in an old book. Long gone. The Aster Café is there now.
I found this in a book I just pulled off the shelf. The website is still live, mostly, but it doesn’t seem to be a brick & mortar shop anymore.
I found this yesterday in, I’m guessing, the book that I bought there in the spring of 2001.
A little research shows it closed some time after it moved from Montague St in Brooklyn Heights to Smith St in Brooklyn.
This morning, I went inside a bookstore for the first time since January 2020. I picked up part of an online order, I browsed, and I bought a few more books. It was almost normal.
And, of course, I grabbed a pinch of bookmarks.
Another just surfaced.
The last time I was in a bookstore was 55 weeks ago. Since then, I’ve bought every book online, most from independent bookstores or, when I could, directly from the publisher. Only one has thought to include some bookmarks.
