Our final day of normal sales operation will be this Friday, November 20th.
BUT...
Please join us for our party/wake/auction/fundraising event that
promises to be a blast!!!
For 26 years, Bailey/Coy Books served as Capitol Hill's literary hub,
providing the community with a place to be amongst books, talk about literature
and meet their favorite authors.
On Thursday, December 3, we're holding a wake for the store, in memory of
all those years, and celebrating the customers who've walked through the
doors, the authors we've hosted, the generations of books we've sold and the
staff who have served us so well.
We'll also hold an auction of the memorabilia we've collected over the
years. We want to say good-bye in style - and, raise some cash to help the
store.
Auctioneer, Laura Michalek will oversee bidding on a pair of white boxer
shorts signed by David Sedaris, original cartoons out of our guestbook by Matt
Groening and Lynda Barry, a poster signed by Annie Leibovitz, an original
painting from the Big Fucking Hands
Entertainment will be provided by Fuschia Foxxx and the magnificent Dina
Martina. Food and champagne will be served, all provided by local Capitol
Hill eateries such as Poppy, Table 219, Charlie's and High 5 Pies. Tickets
are $40. We will pop the champagne open at 6 PM--the entertainment, and the
auction, will begin promptly at 6.
