Farewell to Coliseum Books

Another long-established New York City bookstore bites the dust. When I lived in Manhattan it was still at 57th Street -- not a location I passed by all that frequently, but when I did, it was virtually certain I'd pop in.

Final clearance today and tomorrow.

It is a shame to see all these independent bookstores shutting down but when people prefer lower prices over the ability to browse this is inevitable. I remember once, about 10 years ago, browsing through a book at an independent bookstore that consisted of nothing more than the authour sitting in the lobby of the old Plaza hotel in Manhattan and writing about the activities along with information about people coming and going. That is not the sort of book about which you say, I wonder if somebody wrote a book about hotel lobbies?
