A NEW CHAPTER...
An announcement from the store's owner...
After many weeks of speculation about the future of The Elliott Bay Book Company, I am now able to confirm that the book store will be moving to a new location on Capitol Hill in the spring of next year.
 The past two years have been a difficult, painful period of exploring and evaluating possibilities in an attempt to determine what would be best—and necessary—to ensure the long-term health and vitality of the store. And while the thought, and the practicalities, of moving from the site and the locale which have been home for the past 36 years are daunting to say the least, I am convinced that this upcoming relocation will afford us the best opportunity to remain, and further develop as a thriving enterprise.

OUR BOOK OF THE WEEK...
Hard Rain Falling
by Don Carpenter (New York Review of Books)
The plot of this masterful novel—thankfully now back in print—is difficult to encapsulate because it meanders broadly and shifts irrevocably, much the way a real life can. Jack Levitt is a white orphan teen scraping by on the streets of Portland, where he meets Billy Lancing, a black teenager just off the bus from Seattle who is wise beyond his years when it comes to handling a pool cue. By the time they meet again in San Quentin over a decade later a lot has happened. This book is about real pain and real desperation, but it is also about love that is honest, unexpected and heartbreaking. Its beauty and power lies in Carpenter's refusal to dishonor his characters with easy redemption or simple solutions. -Casey O.
