There are several bookstores named Booksmith that are still going. I think the most famous one may be in San Francisco. But I picked up these bookmarks on my one and only trip to New Hampshire in 1996, and I don’t think this particular Booksmith, which had three locations at the time, is still in existence. At least that’s what I’m given to understand by my sources on the ground in the Granite State. Which leads me to believe that this particular Booksmith is a Bookstore No More.

Sadly, I believe this chain either went out of business due to Barnes and nobles (they killed off a ton of little bookstores sadly) or even Daltons. Pretty sure they didn’t survive long enough to see Amazon take over.

It was a tough environment. Thanks for your reporting! If you ever do see a Booksmith again in the wild let me know.

Another one bites the dust. Sad. Quite a plain bookmark, but serviceable.

Yep. Not in great shape either. But a couple of bookmarks may be all that’s now left.
