Amid all the news of bookstore closings, I'm glad to point out some that are actually opening. Asheville, North Carolina's, Mountain Xpress newspaper reports on not one but two new bookstores in the city. I was particularly drawn to news that the Battery Park Book Exchange will feature a champagne bar. Patrons can bring in books and use the resulting store credit to purchase books or, it seems, bubbly. Come summer, the bookstore will even have outdoor seating, so folks can imbibe al fresco. That's civilized.
Details are here.--David E
