Linda Nurick plans to open her new shop, Cellar Door Books, in the Canyon Crest Towne Center in Riverside, Calif., by early November. The Press-Enterprise reported that Nurick was motivated to launch the venture after the closing of Imagine That!, a Towne Center bookstore for kids "where she practically raised her two children."
With a goal of stocking "intriguing titles, such as adventures and mysteries that people can't get" at the chains, she hopes Cellar Door Books will be a hub for book clubs, author readings and signings, story times and writing groups.
