Back
Bay
Moving online
-page 4 Albright-
McCaffrey will close the doors on Memorial Day but
he will move his business online. He is in the midst of trying
to sell his remaining stock of books for 50 percent off and has
plans to further increase sales as the last days of his store approach.
He will move as many left over books that he can fit into his apartment.
The rest will be moved to a warehouse but can be purchased at www.avenuevictorhugobooks.com.

and his brother. |
After 29 years of selling books and pouring his heart into the
Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop, Vincent McCaffrey remains a fan of
popular literature. His mission was never to appease the literary
critic. He tried to provide fans of literature and the residents
of Back Bay with books he thought the public would enjoy reading.
“What can you say about the closing of a bookstore like
this? It’s not like the closing of a Waterstone’s or
a Barnes and Noble. This was a pretty valuable institution,” said
Birnbaum. “It’s like losing an old tree in a neighborhood.
A big gap is created.”
