September 29, 2006: The Future of Bookstores on Nantucket Island?
"With Brant Point Books closing Sunday, and Mitchell’s Book Corner on the market, Nantucket Bookworks may soon be the only store open for the island’s bibliophiles. "
“'The bookstore cannot support the financing of the building,' said Mimi Beman, owner of Mitchell’s Book Corner. Beman’s parents founded Mitchell’s in 1968, and she took over the operation in 1978. 'During two months of the year, they are buying books,'she said."
