“Sylvia Beach, the patron saint of independent bookstores”
“Beach's “boisterous bookshop”, as she described it, opened in 1919, offering books not available elsewhere because of either censorship or price, and above all promoting the opposite of “train literature.” Beach first set up shop in Paris’ Latin Quarter on the rue Dupuytren and then moved around the corner, to 12 rue de l' Odéon in 1921. Shakespeare and Company remains a staple of Lost Generation memory because of the famous company Beach kept and the most famous of books she published, James Joyce's Ulysses. What we forget is that Beach's bookstore was also an active lending library, and it served, like its Right Bank “rival,” the American Library in Paris, as a meeting place for Americans. Lending books to impecunious writers who couldn't afford to buy, Beach also hosted literary teas and allowed her shop to serve as a mail drop. Hemingway picked up his mail there, and most of the expatriate writers frequented the shop.”

Roxane Gay, to independent booksellers at Winter Institute 2017
At the end of the month we are ecstatic to be participating in Independent Bookstore Day 2017 for the third year running. It’s a day-long party with authors-as-bartenders, photobooths, exclusive merch, kids activities, and more. It’s a celebration, but more accurately it’s a benediction, to the people and community that has allowed us to do the work we do: thank you!
