Paul Weimer went to donate some books at Don Blyly’s new location for Uncle Hugo’s and Uncle Edgar’s bookstores. While he was inside Paul shot these photographs of the bookshelves being stocked and other work in progress.

“At Uncle Hugo’s Imagination stock’d corners, place Your books, angels, and arise, arise From death, those numberless infinities Of stories, and to your scattered bookshelves go…”
(Deepest apologies to John Donne, but I’m so happy to see Mr. Blyly relaunch the bookstore even though the chances of me seeing it in person are practically zero.)
Bravo. It’ll be so good to see Hugo’s back in the world.
I’ve sent the link to Publishers Weekly, Shelf Awareness, FictionMags, and to various others, with a BCC to you!
Can’t wait to go check out the new space!
Looks wonderful!
@joe I confirmed with Don that there will be plenty of shelf space, so no giant piles of books on the floor in that one corner of the Hardcovers that the old store had…
Beautiful!
Who is the dog? Why aren’t we introduced to the dog?
I didn’t get the name of that very good boy, Lis. He did not cotton to me much and shied away every time I tried an approach.
@Paul Weimer–That’s too bad. The good boy must have been working through A Very Difficult Problem
The store dog’s name is Ecko.
@Mike Aha, thank you! I think everyone else there just assumed I knew his name.
@Mike–Thanks! It’s good to know Ecko’s name, so Cider can update her contacts.
So happy to hear “the Uncle’s” are returning. Space looks great.
Looks great and great that it will be returning soon!
