It's been closed for a while now, but I happened across the storefront of the Gotham Book Mart. I had my digital snappy on me so I got this shot off. Kind of sad really. I don't know if I wandered down the street because I used to after working at the Times or by accident. I used to never walk on by. I'd always stop in and look over the books they had. I picked up a number of my favorite Ed Gory volumes at this place. From what I read in the news GBM owed a huge amount of back rent. As it turns out, the store and it's contents where put up for auction and the landlord snapped it all up for about $400,000 dollars. We'll not see it's like again I'm afraid.
