The Episcopal Bookstore, Seattle, Wash., which specializes in meeting "the needs of the liturgical Christian book reader, from many religious denominations," is for sale. Owners Nancy and John Marshall wrote to customers that "after 22 years of service to Episcopalians and other spiritually-minded people," they have realized that "it is time for us to retire and begin a new chapter in our lives. Now that we've made that decision, we're hoping that you--or someone you know--will want to see the Episcopal Bookstore remain at the core of our faith community."
They continued: "The key ingredients that will contribute to the success of a new owner are all in place: a loyal customer base, a dedicated, hard-working staff, the technology tools to remain current and relevant, and a stellar reputation that attracts customers from near and far. Besides, we're willing to stay on for a short while as well, serving in an advisory role to ensure a smooth transition."
