A little expansion at Zeeba Books. We heard the sad news that Slipstream books on Queen Mary was closing its doors on July 1. What's bad for some is good for others. I went straight over to speak with Douglas Barnes about his inventory, feeling somewhat like a vulture picking on a carcass. We struck up a favorable deal for both parties. He gets some cabbage in his pockets, his store gets cleared out without having to lift a single book, and books are heavy(I now understand this truely and deeply), and Zeeba gets a large boost to its stock. We took advantage of the situation and added some more shelving to the shop. The weird thing is that although our shop is small in stature the extra bookcases actualy make it feel a touch larger, go figure.
