Oh, no!

Today I found that the bookstore my partner and I fell in love with a month ago has closed!

CODY'S BOOKS TO CLOSE SAN FRANCISCO STORE;
CODY'S ON FOURTH STREET IN BERKELEY REMAINS OPEN

April 5, 2007

Andy Ross, president of Cody's Books, a subsidiary of Yohan, Inc., announced the closure of Cody's eighteen-month-old bookstore on Stockton Street in San Francisco, effective April 20.

"We believed in our San Francisco store, we loved its space and stock and its employees and customers, but it simply has not attracted enough attention or enough customers. We cannot afford to keep it open. It's heartbreaking to close a bookstore," Ross said.

Cody's will continue to do business in Berkeley, focusing on its core elements: its Fourth Street store, its in-store author events, and its school, library, and corporate services, as well as continuing to do business servicing a wide variety of offsite events all around the Bay Area, including book fairs.

I had felt that finally I had found a store with staff that had knowledge about what they were selling! Well, I guess I will have to go across to Berkeley when needed.
