Twitter Facebook Email Print This just in- Enigma Bookstore is closing their doors sometime this June. More from their FB page: The first of Astoria’s new wave of book shops opened just 10 months ago, and featured a curated selection of sci-fi, mystery, and fantasy books. You can find out more in our ‘Get To Know Enigma‘ post from July of last year. Let’s keep our fingers crossed they find something great in Astoria. Landlord disputes are the worst! **UPDATE. We just saw this on their Facebook page: Wow- so much to digest. Brothels? A Save Enigma Kickstarter? It seems things are a bit more complicated than we thought.

I love their passion for all things geeky, but they really could use some help with their business planning. Reply Michelle May 22nd, 2014 Is it just me, or was that one hell of a poorly crafted FB status? Reply Jon May 21st, 2014 This is sad; I really wanted to see this place do well, but the few times I did go in to visit, the place didn’t feel like it was a business and was more of place to hang out. Bookstores should be filled to the brim with books and if you are a specialty bookstore, you’d better have a really good selection of that genre with lots of things that are hard to find elsewhere to bring people in. I hope they reopen and reinvent themselves! Reply Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
