We moved last October, but not far!
Check out the new store anytime--

653 Chenery Street, in Glen Park
half a block up the street
from the corner of Diamond.
Same phone number -- 586-3733
email eric@birdbeckett.com

We may have moved only a few hundred yards from the old location, but it feels like light years of difference. Much more space to move around in, a stage for the performances, places to sit and read a book...

It's still a work in process, so we'll soon have more bookshelves, full shelves, etc. But even now, it looks and feels great. Come see for yourself.

MUTANABBI STREET STARTS HERE

Baghdad's 1000-year old booksellers' street
was blasted to rubble last March,
and the Mutanabbi Street Coalition,
a loosely affiliated network of booksellers,
poets and artists, has determined
not to let this emblematic assault on culture
be lost in the fog of war.

Readings continue to be staged across the
country to note this specific tragedy, and to
observe the ongoing sorrows caused by
American adventurism in Iraq and around the globe.

Ask at the bookstore for more info about the
activities of the Mutanabbi Street Coalition.


Join Bird & Beckett!
Your memberships help keep us going!
Plus, we sell lovely t-shirts
& coffee mugs, too!
