Update on "Project Mittens*"

So, some of you may be aware that we are trying to save the place we love (and our jobs...) by attempting to open an independent bookstore...

To keep you abreast of the situation, we've created another blog to track our progress. Please visit us at:

We look forward to your input and support!


*The name "Project Mittens**" came about when first discussing the idea of opening a new bookstore. When asked whether she'd thought of names, Dorothy responded that it was a little like finding a stray kitten -- if you named it, then you became attached, and then if anything untoward were to happen, you would become immeasurably distraught. With this metaphor in mind, Aimee and Dorothy returned to the front of the store, where Aimee jokingly asked Jay, "So, what should we name the kitten?" He responded, "Mittens," paused, and said to Dorothy, "What kitten?" "The theoretical store." "Oh," he emphatically replied, "Mittens!"
And thus, more nonsense was born.

**We need a new name. Please visit http://dorothysbookportal.blogspot.com/ to voice your opinions.
