Solid State Books, Washington, D.C., has opened a second location, at 1809 14th St. N.W., between S and T Streets. Solid State Books owners Jake Cumsky-Whitlock and Scott Abel, former longtime managers at Kramerbooks & Afterwords Café, launched the original store at 600 H Street N.E. in 2018.
In Solid State's recent e-newsletter, the co-owners said they "are incredibly excited to welcome you! We certainly wouldn't call the store finished (what ever is?), but it is pretty full with books, kids and adult alike, and we have plenty of cards and stationery too. Come by and check us out!... This summer was a world of fun, and yet we find ourselves looking forward to the fall. Lots to do, and we can't do it without you, so stop by!"
