By No Means the Last Word about Snoetry and The Last Wordsmith
photo by Mark Hersman with my camera
Alas, the Last Wordsmith Book Shoppe, (that fantastic store in historic North East - near Erie - Pennsylvania, where Lix and Kix held Snoetry: A Winter Wordfest this past weekend) is going out of business. Starting today, almost everything in the place is being sold for 75% off. Methinks now's a great time return to the scene of the rhyme (pardon the bad pun), make a pilgrimage of sorts while you still can, say thank you to Megan, and pick up some marvelous last-minute deals on the Last Wordsmith's delightfully eclectic assortment of books, glorious books.

Sorry to hear about the book shop.... but pleased/ hopeful that the events will continue somewhere.
Anything that brings people together rather than divide them is a good thing Mr. B...

I hate to hear of real bookstores going out of business. Soon we'll be left with Borders and B&N.
On the other hand, the sale sounds phenomenal. Too bad I don't live closer -- I'd add much more stuff to my pile of stuff!

Two bookstores in my home county (Lorain) have closed in the past couple of months as well: Roxy's Reads in Amherst and Borders Express in Elyria's Midway Mall.

There were a lot of good photos of the event but I couldn't get Diane's photos and I wonder why?

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free.
