Red Fox Books

A few months ago, I posted my friends Suzy and Naftali's call for books for their bookstore in Glens Falls. Suzy recently sent out an update on their bookstore's progress.

Hi everyone,
Once again, we apologize for the group email, but we
are so incredibly busy that we haven't had time for
correspondence. We apologize and hope that you still
count us as friends! (Family members don't get much
of a choice in the matter).

We are doing well and enjoying Glens Falls and life in
the North Country. It's beautiful up here. We're a
few minutes from the Adirondacks, and the countryside
to the east of us is spectacular. We encourage you
all to visit.

We have a small apartment but hope to buy a house
within the next year or so. (Our apartment is above
the store, so we won't have far to commute. No more
#7 train).

The store is under construction/renovation. We've
attached a photo of the entrance. This was a solid
brick wall just a few weeks ago. If you visit our
website, www.redfoxbookstore.com, we will update the
photos as the construction progresses.

Our planned opening date is mid-October, hopefully
right after Columbus Day. We will also have our
website up and running by then. It will be hosted by
Booksense.com, the marketing branch of the American
Booksellers Association. This will allow customers
from far and near to order books online and have
access to a huge distributor's database as well as our
store inventory. It's just like Amazon except you'll
be supporting a local independent (and your dear
friends).
