There are "signs" that it won't be much longer before downtown Bethesda has a bookstore again. Permanent signage has just been installed at Wonderland Books, opening soon at 7920 Norfolk Avenue. Former Washington Post journalist Amy Joyce and former communications executive and current book podcaster Gayle Weiswasser are the co-founders of the business. The 2000+-square-foot store will carry a wide variety of books, as well as a curated selection of cards and gifts, and host author readings and other book events.

Maybe the electrician who installed the lights that flank the perpendicular blade sign could pick up a nice book on how to aim lights. It will be nice to have an independent bookstore in downtown Bethesda!
Any word on Barnes & Nobles search for a bookstore location in Bethesda, as previously reported on this site? Maybe the large retail space in the base of the new Greystar tower on Wisconsin that is currently under construction? As I understand, B&N wants a space about 15,000 SF, but with convenient nearby parking, which will be a problem in almost all of downtown.
Finally a bookstore in downtown Bethesda! But wait I forgot the "kids" these days can't read!
I love their signs. Their logo/symbol is very inventive.
Yay! :-)
A small step in the right direction.
Head in their phones 24/7.
Kids these days are probably just sitting there making useless comments on the internet. There's no helping them.
