Horizon Books - Traverse City

Horizon Books to Close in 2020 (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3...).
This, for me, is really really really sad news. Horizon Books has been my therapeutic haunt after monthly work meetings in Traverse City for 41 years. I first learned of Horizon in 1977 when MSU published "The Atlas of Michigan," a book I worked on as an undergraduate student at MSU. The faux-book store in Manistee had never heard of it, and no they would not order it. A phone call to Horizon and I learned they already sold out of their first shipment, and would be glad to mail me a copy when their second shipment came in. They sent me the bill with the book. I've been a loyal customer ever since (discount club lifetime member number 1022). My guess is 80% of my 2,906 books have been purchased from Horizon Books.

Great bookstore, local-owned. In 1977 I needed a book. Called Horizon and they mailed it to me trusting me to send a check later. Earned my loyalty and patronage ever since.
