Another author is entering the bookstore business. Canadian novelist Michelle Berry, who has written nine books, plans to open Hunter Street Books in Peterborough, Ont., in a newly renovated space at 164 Hunter St. W. The Examiner reported that Berry is "not daunted by the idea of opening a bookstore while other bookstores are closing."
"I could tell you a million stories about how bookstores are coming back," she said, noting in particular American novelists/booksellers Ann Patchett, Judy Blume and Louise Erdrich. She added that customers want personal attention from a staff that can recommend good books, and that is what she plans to offer.
