Second Story Books to Close


Wes Woods II at his Claremont Now blog reports that Second Story Books is going out of business. Second Story opened at the end of November, 2007, taking over from Claremont Books & Print, which had been there for over 20 years.

Woods tells us that Second Story is selling off its inventory at 50-75% off. Woods writes:

There are more than 10,000 second hand and antiquarian books of all genres and types.

The store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays at 128 Yale Ave. upstairs in the Claremont Village and above Aruffo's Italian Restaurant.

Information: 909-624-0757

Back in November, 2007, Brenda Bollinger had an article in The Claremont Courier about Second Story and its owners, Kyle Hernandez, Stephanie McIlwain, and Laura Hernandez. We're sorry to see them go, and wish them all the best.

Second Story's closing leaves the Village without a bookseller, other than Huntley Bookstore at the Claremont Colleges and the small used book store the Claremont Forum has in the Claremont Packing House.
