For years I have been trying to promote independent bookstores on my Facebook feed. One year I had a contest with a couple of friends to see who could visit and make a purchase from the most stores. One of my favorite stores did not make it. Bayswater Books in Center Harbor, NH was a two floor building selling new and used books. It also sold sundries such as cards, napkins and bookends. The owner decided to retire and no one stepped up to purchase it. Although I have considered owning a bookstore for years, the timing wasn’t right.
