What!? Who opens a new #bookstore anymore!? This is awesome. I'm vowing I will buy something when they open.

@ottaross Over here in #NewWest BC we have a new #bookstore just opened too!

Actually two within the last year:

and
https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/pop-up-bookstore-buys-out-25-year-old-renaissance-books-in-new-west-7280142

Seems to be about finding a niche and owning it. Path to success is unlikely to be by selling the top 10 paperbacks.

Chat about books and music at this groovy New West bookstore

Bored of adding books to your online cart? Pick up a dog-eared classic, and listen to a vinyl record at the city's newest bookstore, Groove Cat Books and Records.

@jonjennings oh nice! Glad to see it happening. I think you're right, that specializing a bit is prob key, and no doubt connecting with the local community.

Hoping the locals make an effort to support them here and build some longevity.

@ottaross
We're doing our best!
It's unfortunate that last year's new arrival complained about the new bike lane opened up in front of his store. So whenever I go in I make a point of very visibly carrying my helmet, panniers etc :)
