Default McNally Robinson on Stephen Ave. to close Aug.1

Too bad, really. My monthly adventures down to this book store will soon end. Easily the best book store in the city. Sad news to hear they won't look for another location. It sounds like the new building owners forced them out.

"It certainly was a space that welcomed authors and welcomed book lovers," she said. "I know from my experience working with publishers in the past what an important part it was in the promotion of their books to have that venue and that space there, so it will be a big loss."

McNally Robinson, which has locations in Winnipeg, Saskatoon and New York City, is opening a store in the Manitoba capital in a few weeks as well as in Toronto next spring.

The Calgary store opened in the Clarence Block building in September 2002. McNally said the building's new owners are looking for a new tenant.

What other book stores do people use that aren't Chapters/Indigo?
