LTR Mourns Loss of AVH
March 24th, 2004LTR is heartbroken to hear that Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop, the second best thing about the Boston metropolitan area, is closing for good.
Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop will shut its doors for good in May. The year long attempt to save the store in a new location will come to an end. A loss of former customers who thought the store had closed at the end of 2002, compounded with an overall loss of business to chain stores, and to the changing shopping patterns on Newbury Street, made continuing the struggle impossible.

That’s so sad. I’m glad that I got to visit it when I had the chance.

It is sad. I felt guilty and went to Book Nook after work!
