So, are the Henrys no longer owners of the Harvard Book Store? ... When this announcement was made I thought back to that 2022 announced new store that never happened. . . . . Summer books: "Happening" by Annie Ernaux, "Stauf: A Tragedy" by Mary Gaitskill, both very short. And then my long-deferred reading of Henry James's "The Portrait of a Lady," which is very long, and begins with afternoon tea in "the perfect middle of a splendid summer afternoon."
“Long live independent bookstores. Long live Harvard Book Store and here’s to success in their second home. Also, no one should be a billionaire.” Amen!
Happy Solstice, Nina! 💛☀️
Right back to you! (And with admiration for your own solstice post. So lovely!)

They still own it, alongside the owners noted above. And that's a good summer reading list, short and long.
The editorial interference is appalling, but I'm not surprised.

Happy solstice! To light!
Happy summer to you, Suzette!!
