Books Can't Miss This

Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 5:36 PM

Longtime Seattelites will remember Pistil Books, the great used bookstore over where the Cha Cha is now. They still do a brisk business online, but this weekend you'll be able to relive that brick-and-mortary magic at a yard sale that looks like a can't-miss:

Brings back such memories - going to Pistil to buy cheap paperbacks and fun postcards after an evening at the Wildrose was a favorite activity. Thanks for the heads up on the sale, glad they're still around, albeit online.

Hey Everyone,

If it's raining, we are aiming for next Saturday (April 4).

Gosh, Amy from Pistil Books, I sure wish there had been some mention of that ON YOUR WEBSITE or somewhere I would have checked before standing out in the rain waiting for a booksale to happen. I bet the other people standing out in the rain would also have liked that, too.

You fucking asshole @6, one of the few pieces of information on the press release or whatever that Paul posted was that if it rains the sale will no happen. what the fuck?
