Organic Books is taking shape! We've worked furiously for the past week, getting 10,000 books onto shelves, and it's starting to look like a real bookshop.
We've still got lots of work to do, but we anticipate a "soft" opening in a week or so, in advance of our official Grand Opening on Nov. 10.
The store has been getting lots of interest from passers-by since the signs went up in the front windows. That's Max Brewer in the photo, posing with the logo he designed.
All those shelves in the background? They're full of books now!
Mostly, we'll carry all kinds of used books. But we have a long, antique table in the center of the store that we'll keep stocked with new books by local authors.
The Albuquerque Museum hosts its annual Author Fair on Nov. 3, and I'll be there as usual, but this time I'll be talking up Organic Books and encouraging local authors to drop by the store afterward to sell us their books.
Our website is still under construction, but you can see our origin story at www.organicbooks.net.
Nob Hill hasn't had a bookstore in years, and we're getting a great response from the neighborhood. Please help us spread the word.

I stopped by Organic Books yesterday. The selection of used books is great. Picked up a couple of books and Steve Brewer's latest book, "Cold Cuts," which is an entertaining, romp of a read.
It's going to be a wonderful book store for readers who've missed this kind of store in Albuquerque. Best of luck, Steve!
