This Friday, Solid State Books, Washington, D.C., is opening a holiday pop-up store "just a few doors down from our permanent location at 600 H Street NE" while progress continues at its main store, which was first announced last summer. The store is owned by Scott Abel and Jake Cumsky-Whitloc, former longtime Kramerbooks & Afterwords Café managers.
In an e-mail newsletter yesterday, Solid State told customers that "we're busy packing all we can into this space, and will have books, cards, totes and many other gifts for every book-lover on your list!"
