Bookselling
Over 30 community members came together to buy the building that houses La Jolla, CA’s long-established bookstore Warwick’s to outbid another prospective buyer and ensure a longtime home for the store. They paid $8.35 million for the building, and gave Warwick a 10-year lease, with two renewal options. Real estate broker Steve Avoyer said, “People understood it as an important social investment. Warwick’s is a major anchor in The Village, an icon. It’s important that they stay there.”

Posman Books will open a 3,200-square-foot store in Pittsburgh’s The Terminal in the Strip District by the end of the year, also serving OddFellows ice cream.

Imprints
Author of AFRO-VEGAN and VEGETABLE KINGDOM Bryant Terry‘s BLACK FOOD, announced as a deal last summer, will be published under a 4 Color Books imprint at Ten Speed Press, with Terry as editor-in-chief of the new line. The imprint “collaborates with the most forward-thinking and groundbreaking BIPOC chefs, writers, artists, activists, and innovators to craft visually stunning nonfiction books that inspire readers and give rise to a more healthy, just, and sustainable world for all.”

IPG’s Chicago Review Press has acquired the 16-title catalog of children’s book publisher Ripple Grove Press (an IPG client).
