Devon Dunn and Cody Stuart Madsen, managers for Book Culture, Inc., have joined the bookstore's executive leadership team, with Dunn becoming v-p of buying and Madsen becoming v-p of operations.
Dunn has been the principal book buyer for all Book Culture locations (three in New York City as well as the new store in Pittsford, N.Y.) since 2020. Prior to that, Dunn managed backlist and corporate vendor accounts for the main Book Culture location on W. 112th St., in addition to coordinating textbook buying for area colleges.
Madsen has worked at Book Culture for 15 years. From 2014 to 2020, he served as events coordinator, and since 2020 has helped coordinate staffing and training.
"Book Culture is like a second home for me, a feeling I know many of our lifetime customers share," said Dunn. "I am honored and excited to continue serving our community of readers, whose diverse tastes I will strive to follow."
"I am honored to be given this stewardship of the bookstores where I have spent the last decade," Madsen said. "And I will strive to do right by our booksellers, neighbors and friends all over the world."
Chris Doeblin, president and owner of Book Culture, added: "Devon and Cody have demonstrated great leadership, and I am excited to expand Book Culture's executive team."
