Independent bookstores are something special. Now, comes the loss of a really good one.
Pages Bookshop at 19560 Grand River in Detroit’s historic North Rosedale Park is closing at the end of the month after about 10 years in business, reports Bridge Detroit.
Owner Susan Murphy announced in an email that she’s retiring and closing the shop.
“I love my customers. I love this neighborhood,” Murphy, 68 of Detroit, told the Free Press.
“I am overwhelmed with gratitude to the community of readers that formed around Pages Bookshop. This community will be what I will miss most about bookselling,” she said in the email. “I’ve come to know you and your families. You’ve told me about births, deaths, weddings, and celebrations and all the newsy things in between. I will truly miss your visits to the store. Thank you for ten years of support and including Pages Bookshop in your life!”
