Book Traders to Close

Book Traders, the nearly four-year-old book store on Congress Street, will close at the end of August.
Owner Curtis Kise has announced that he will be closing the store and moving to his native Philadelphia to take over the management of The Book Trader, Philadelphia’s largest used book store, with over 200 thousand books in stock. Kise learned the used book business at the Philadelphia store. The Portland store stocks about 40,000 books, which are being liquidated as the store enters its final weeks.
