Beloved Independent Evanston Bookstore To Close
After 30 years, Bookman's Alley in Evanston is set to close. Owner Roger Carlson cited advancing age and complications from a recent car accident as his reasons for his closing. "I'm not dead, I'm not even dying," he told the Chicago Sun-Times, "but circumstances dictate I say goodbye to the bookshop." The store will remain open if Carlson finds a new owner. Store is set to close in March, so plenty of time to soak up sales and get in some holiday shopping.

Certainly unfortunate that the shop is closing down. But the owner has to look after himself.
