The Griffin Bookshop and Coffee Bar, Fredericksburg, Va., is closing by the end of June, according to the Free Lance-Star.
Eileen Boyd, who founded the new and used bookstore and gift shop with family in 2006 but now owns it on her own, plans to move to Florida. She said she hasn't tried to sell the business, but she would consider offers.
She told the newspaper that since opening the store, she's seen, as the paper wrote, "the pendulum swing away from interest in physical books and back again." She commented: "I have absolutely no doubt that books will continue. The written word has prevailed."
