Baker Books, Dartmouth, Mass., is closing after 25 years in business, SouthCoastToday.com reported. The store will shut its doors this fall, although owners Deborah and Ben Baker will continue to sell books online.
Deborah, said, "We're both getting on and we want to have more time for ourselves. The book business has changed dramatically."
In 2012, Baker Books downsized to a 1,300-square-foot space from a 4,000-square-foot space and decided to focus on used books and special orders. One-third of its inventory is new books.
