On Friday, April 11, Rizzoli Bookstore, a small capital of civilization and culture on West 57th Street, closed its doors. A victim of rising rents and falling readership, Rizzoli was a great place to kill time; it always made one feel connected to larger, smarter, more beautiful world. Rizzoli’s owners hope to resurrect the store in another locale; we devoutly hope for their successs.
