That is just awful. I met you at Cody's Telegraph too, had my book signed in that great little space upstairs that so many amazing authors have come through.
It's always been obvious that 4th street gets more business, but I never knew it was this bad. If you live in the Bay, you know that the 4th street demographic is very upper class. You won't see the same crowd that you will on Telegraph.
That is a GIANT space too, right in front of Amoeba. I wonder what will become of it. (If it's a Barnes and Noble, I'm organizing a sit-in. You with me Jeff?)
RIP Cody's Telegraph.
I was lucky enough to do a panel with Adisa, EKA, T-K.A.S.H. and Joseph Miclette at Cody's on Friday night. It was a proud lit moment for me -- I took lots of pictures of the framed shots of the world famous authors and photographers they had on the wall. My dad, who used to take me there when I was a kid, came with me.
Hearing this news only a few days later makes me so extra grateful to have had that experience.
One thing I just don't understand is how business could be so bad when it is sitting right on top of the campus there. Am I just really naive? I thought that at least that community would still be reading.
Apparently not. Maybe everyone is only reading what's required of them in class.

When I lived in the Bay, I used to go to Cody's and Amoeba several times a week. After I moved, whenever I came back to Cali I always stopped at the store. Probably my favorite book store of all time...still can't believe it's closing.
I guess the Barnes and Noble on Shattuck made a bigger impact than I imagined. Very sad.
