I have no problem calling Pages Toronto's premier book store. Now it's closing.
But it's a new world, isn't it? I saw this news first on Twitter. Someone linked to the Torontoist story.
Looks like the This is Not a Reading Series will continue, which is somewhat consoling. But for those who'd like to save Pages, including me!
Independent book stores have been disappearing for a decade or more now.
There's something going on with the future of books. Who knows what.
Somewhere in all of this, literature will survive.
I have some photographs that I took on Queen West in the 1980s that I will add to this blog post soon. When I think of Pages, I think of 1987.
I think of that ad from NOW of the boy smoking!
Pages, you were great. You are still until August 31st!!
