After more than 16 years in Williamsburg, bookseller Spoonbill & Sugartown is opening a second store in not-so-distant East Williamsburg. The new location, in the front half of the Montrose Avenue storefront currently used as the bookstore’s warehouse and office space, will be open Friday through Sunday, starting today.

First the sad news about St. Mark’s Bookshop, and now this. Spoonbill & Sugartown’s three-legged cat, Rainer, a perpetual fixture in the nooks and crannies of Williamsburg’s favorite little bookstore, has gone to the eternal remainder bin.
Join authors Merritt and Priore for a discussion of their new book.Pacific Ocean Park: The Rise and Fall of Los Angeles’ Space-Age Nautical Pleasure Pier collates photographs of Pacific Ocean Park, a family-oriented attraction that was a staple of Los Angeles life from the 50s through the 70s. P.O.P.’s attendance, it should be noted, briefly surpassed that of Disney World’s. The surreal photographs offer a vivid trip into leisure parks past. The authors will show a slideshow and sign books.
