Potterton Books is closing its store in the lobby of the D&D Building at 979 Third Avenue (between 58th and 59th St.) in New York City by July 31, but is negotiating a new lease in what it calls "an exciting new location" where it plans to reopen in the fall. To "lighten our moving load and raise necessary relocation funds," the store is discounting all inventory 25%-40%.
Potterton specializes in high-quality books on design and decorative arts and has a collection of more than 5,000 new and rare titles on interior design, architecture, furniture, gardens and associated decorative arts.
The company's headquarters is in North Yorkshire, England, and it also has a shop in Chelsea in London.
