HISTORY

The [words] story

[words] purchased Goldfinch on November 1, 2008. Shortly thereafter, we moved from the old location of 97A Baker Street to a much larger space at 179 Maplewood Avenue, opening there on January 20, 2009. Each of the eleven Goldfinch employees agreed to stay on and work for [words], and their hard work and dedication served to enable a smooth transition. We ordered approximately 5,000 new books to expand significantly the selections that we can offer in-store to our customers. As we continue to serve the greater Maplewood area, we strive to offer a uniquely comfortable and personal atmosphere that only a community-oriented independent bookstore can provide. We are proud of our history and look forward to a future of involvement in, and enrichment of, the Maplewood community.
