This bookstore can't even alphabetize its books and it gets a write up in the Daily News.
I am all for independant bookstores (believe me), but these guys didn't get the memo. Hey guys, here's what it said: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". How hard is it?
Yeah. I do think its cool that they have all these Greek books. (Is the Greek section alphabetized in Greek?) But I'm getting sick of not being able to find anything. I called ahead once on my way home from work - headed for vacation - to see if they had a book I really wanted. They did. I went there and thier own staff said they had many copies in inventory, but they just couldn't find them. They just sort of shrugged it off. Like "oh well, isn't that funny?".
ReplyDeleteLuckily, the place I went to on vacation had a decent independant bookstore who had it.
It's like we need a petition drive or something.
Heh. The thing is that its his business. He's allowed to run it into the ground it he pleases.
ReplyDeleteThat said, he may respond if enough people (read: potential customers) make a few basic requests. Mine would be alphabetizing and general organization.
BTW, you got the alphabet wrong there. I think it goes xyz
ReplyDeleteheh. Excellent. Thanks!
ReplyDeletelast time I was in there I found a couple books on LIC and Astoria. A food book (something like "eating your way through queens")... I know there was at least one Astoria-specific history book. Maybe your request was heard afterall!
ReplyDeleteyeah... this alphabet of ours... it isn't overrated.
Maybe it is in Greek alphabetical order?
(wishful, I know)
"Eating Like Queens". I'll do a review soon. It's okay.
