Otis 2008-2024
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved shop cat, Otis. He found us as a loud, scrawny kitten, enjoyed exploring all reaches of the store, greeted customers with cordial aplomb, loved children and enjoyed joining them in play. In short, he was a feline bookseller nonpareil. He made national news when he retired in 2022.
He died 04/07/2024 from complications of diabetes/pancreatitis/kidney failure, and he will be missed by so many.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to pass along condolences, memories of Otis, and donated to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC).
BINC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to assisting booksellers in need. The foundation grew out of a wish of bookstore employees to establish a fund to help their colleagues experiencing unexpected financial crises.
