Otis 2008-2024
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved shop cat, Otis. He found us as a loud, scrawny kitten, enjoyed exploring all reaches of the store, greeted customers with cordial aplomb, loved children and enjoyed joining them in play. In short, he was a feline bookseller non pareil. He made national news when he retired in 2022.
He died 04/07/2024 from complications of diabetes/pancreatitis/kidney failure, and he will be missed by so many.
Because Otis was a dedicated bookstore employee, we have chosen the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC) as a worthy donation recipient for those who wish to commemorate his life. Please honor booksellers with a contribution in tribute to Otis. He'll mew extra special loudly just for you. Donate here.
BINC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to assisting booksellers in need. The foundation grew out of a wish of bookstore employees to establish a fund to help their colleagues experiencing unexpected financial crises.

May prompt: #MayDayReads
"May Day!" is freighted with many different meanings. This month, choose #MayDayReads that broaden your own personal bookshelf. Don’t know much about pagan or nature-based traditions? Sketchy on the history of unions or labor history? Has it been ages since you read a gripping disaster adventure? Something else evoked by “May Day” that we’ve missed? Find the book that fits the prompt and share it using our hashtags!
