Our new family-owned bookstore in Albuquerque's Nob Hill neighborhood draws closer to a reality with every passing day.
We now have a logo, designed by Max Brewer with input from the rest of us:
We love the open-book artwork, which fits with the Art Deco decor of the historic Nob Hill Business Center. We plan to put this design in our large front windows, and it'll be featured on our bags, bookmarks, etc.
Last weekend, the Albuquerque Journal carried a business story about our plans to open the store. You can read it here.
The store is almost ready for us to start filling with books. Electrical, paint and plumbing work was done this week, following some minor demolition and renovation. The 1,300-square-foot space, on the Carlisle Boulevard side of the shopping center, was formerly a nail salon.
We hope to move bookshelves and other furniture into the store next week. Once we take occupancy, even before we're officially open, we'll be taking books in trade and buying from local authors. I'll let you know when we're ready.
Lots of paperwork involved in starting a new business, and we're trying to get it all done quickly so we can have a Grand Opening in early November. Stay tuned.

Anxious to start frequenting Organic Books.
Congratulations! Can't wait.
Spot on with this write-up, I actually think this website wants rather more consideration. I’ll probably be again to learn much more, thanks for that info. online casino gambling
