Land Arnold, a founder and former owner of Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill, N.C., is opening Letters in nearby Durham in the next week, the Herald Sun reported. The store will sell used, rare, out-of-print books as well as some new titles, especially children's books.

Arnold told the paper that downtown Durham has "so much vibrancy and potential." He anticipates that Letters' strong categories will be used fiction, "quirkier books" and new children's books, which will have a "pretty strong" selection. He plans to give all proceeds from sales of children's books to Book Harvest, a provider of books for children in need, which is managed by Sarah Carr, who was also a founder and owner of Flyleaf. (Jamie Fiocco is now the sole owner of Flyleaf.)
