"What we do down here (at Phinney Books) is keep it as general as we can."Ī November opening is the goal because of the holiday season, though he observed: "I can even imagine doing some kind of popup if things weren't quite completed in the store."ĭescribing the decision as " an exciting development," the Seattle Review of Books wrote that "it's a testament to how much the neighborhood wants a bookshop. "It's a really small space, that's going to be one of the challenges, so try to pack in as much as we can," Nissley said. Madison Books is the first new tenant for Constance Court, which the Losh family has been restoring and renovating for more than a year at 4114-4116 E. "That's also part of what made it seem possible in my head," Nissley added. James Crossley of Island Books on Mercer Island will manage the bookstore starting in October. Susan got in touch with us, and just the more that we talked about it, the more appealing it sounded." "I think she's been trying to get a store in the neighborhood ever since Madison Park Books closed in 2005," he said. Madison Books wasn't his idea, "but that of longtime resident Susan Moseley, who spent some time reaching out to potential partners before tapping Nissley," the Park Times noted. "We just get that there's this hunger for having this store right in the middle of everything," said Nissley, who has owned Phinney Books in Phinney Ridge since 2014. Tom Nissley, owner of Phinney Books, Seattle, Wash., is planning to open Madison Books in the city's Madison Park neighborhood by November, the Madison Park Times reported, adding that the store will be "filling a void felt in the neighborhood for more than a decade."
