Communal Places - I

 


Communal Places for Literary Enthusiasts

I.  Now located on West Lovers Lane in Dallas, Texas, Interabang Books takes its unique name from the symbol that combines the question mark and the exclamation point. Owner Nancy Perot knows a bit about what those symbols represent, as well as the value of perseverance having the original bookshop, which opened in 2017, destroyed by a tornado in 2019, followed by the recent pandemic. Nonetheless, the store once again thrives in its new location, offering hand-picked selections of books and gifts for adults and kids. Events include Children’s Book of the Month subscriptions, in-person book signings, online author, publisher, and bookseller chats, videos, and personalized reading recommendations. They’ve temporarily discontinued the consignment program, but it’s something to keep an eye on.





If anyone knows how to create an Interabang symbol on a computer, do tell ;-)

  2. I know that area of Dallas. I used to stay near there back in the eighties when I was on the road. There were some good restaurants around there.

    1. Hi Lee!

      According to google maps, there are still good restaurants in that area - if they're still in business ;-)
