ICYMI: Ex-Book Revue Employee Aims For Bookstore's 'Next Chapter'

HUNTINGTON, NY—Many in Huntington Village and beyond were sad to see Long Island's largest independent bookstore close its doors in September after 44 years of business. But one former manager from the Book Revue has launched a campaign to crowd-fund the beginning of a new independent bookstore in Huntington.

"Book Revue: The Next Chapter" was created by Mallory Braun with the blessing of Richard Klein, a Book Revue owner. As of Wednesday, the Kickstarter has raised $50,937 of a needed $250,000.

If the campaign fails to raise the full amount in 43 more days, the pledged funds return to the donors. If Braun is successful, she will open The Next Chapter, to "reincarnate the spirit of Book Revue."
