If you have been around Salem the last 5 years or so, you may have had occasion to visit Cornerstone books at 45 Lafayette Street. In case you are not literately inclined, or have been living in a polar ice cave, it was a small, wonderful, local bookstore, with a great selection of the latest titles, friendly and helpful staff, compfy places to sit, coffee, snacks, and the site of many events promoting books of local interest and local authors. It is closed as of November 1st. There is a Salem Gazette article about it online here: http://www.wickedlocal.com/salem/topstories/x1272815625/No-sequel-for-Cornerstone-Books-Bookstore-to-close-Monday
This is indeed a sad day for bibliophiles and Salem residents. Let's hope that someone will buy it and re-opens it.
