We were featured in the Finder from Willamette Week!



It's obviously been far too long since I posted here, so I thought I would kick off the second half of the month with some good news regarding the business. We have recently been featured in Willamette Week's annual Finder issue, which lists WW's recommendations for local businesses. Not only did we receive a short and sweet write up, but I was shocked to see my own pretty self featured in a 2 page spread, showing our wealth of books and capturing the ambiance of the place quite well, if I do say so myself. I had completely forgotten that a very nice photographer had come in and mentioned that she was taking photos for the Finder, so when a friend mentioned that she'd seen me in the new issue I was taken aback. I had to wait until the next day to track down a copy, but when I did I was pleasantly surprised by how large and high quality the photo was. We thank WW very much, and hope that it encourages people to come visit us. For those who don't know, WW is the major free weekly paper in Portland which focuses on local news, art and culture.
