Skylight Books( Chau Tu / Los Angeles Times / August 5, 2008 )
Its not easy out there for independent bookstores these days, with book sales relatively flat and corporate book empires gobbling up shops on every corner. Duttons is gone, Midnight Special is long gone, Acres of Books is soon to close. So its no surprise that your local non-chain bookstore is not only struggling to find that special niche and provide that personal touch, but is just plain struggling.
Thankfully, one independent bookstore seems to be doing more than surviving. Los Felizs Skylight Books closed its doors early last week only to open up again the next day with a bigger, better space. |
