Daniel Foster, longtime bookseller at Classic Bookshop in Palm Beach, Fla., died suddenly on March 1 from a heart attack. He was 54.
Jeffrey Jacobus, owner of Classic Bookshop, wrote: "Every day for nearly 30 years Daniel Foster could be found at Classic Bookshop in Palm Beach opening boxes of new books, arranging them on the shelves just so; talking to customers, helping them find just the right book; placing orders with the sales reps and researching throughout the book world."
Foster became the store's book buyer in 2014, stocking the store "with new and unique releases that became favorites of the customers. When a customer asked about a certain book, Dan would find it. An avid book collector himself, Dan was well-known in the book community. In addition to his mother, sister and nephew, Dan leaves behind a host of friends all around the world. To the members of Classic Bookshop he was a family member. He will be missed."
