2d10 to support Pandemonium Books & Games

A copy-paste of a bulletin sent out by the Coolidge Corner Theater to support the recently relocated/re-opened Pandemonium Bookstore, now in Central Square...

Hey Friends,

We've just heard that one of Cambridge's independently owned bookstores, Pandemonium Books and Games is in need of help.

Due to a recent traumatic move from Harvard Square to Central Square, the bookstore has suffered some great losses in revenue. Many of its patrons incorrectly believed that it had closed its doors. And during the moving process it lost 3 months in income. The store is deeply in debt to vendors and owes a great deal of back taxes to both State and Federal government. It is now on the brink of closure.

It would be very disappointing to see another locally owned business disappear from our landscape only to be replaced by yet another cell phone store or bank. Locally-owned businesses contribute to the fabric of our culture and we are steadily losing them. Remember the Tasty? Wordsworth? So what can you do?

Support this bookstore by buying a t-shirt from them. If Pandemonium can pre-sell a thousand of these it can pay its back taxes.

And you could also buy books from them. In fact, whenever possible, try to patronize one of the Boston area's fine selection of Independent Bookstores. We are very fortunate to have them in our neighborhoods.

Thanks for listening and tell your friends.
