Book store closes, new business starts

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A downtown Terre Haute book store set to close this week.

Book Nation announced back in November they would be closing after their 20th anniversary.

While currently working out of a store on Wabash Avenue, they've called several locations home over the last 20 years.

This Saturday their doors close for the final time.

"I'm not sorry. I had a great time,” owner Todd Nation said. “I think that we've provided a community service. I think that we've provided a good place for book people, but we're to the end of it."

For the rest of the week, you can carry out a beer case of books for just 20 dollars.

Nation says he's leasing the space out for a new business to come in town.

A boutique will open in the coming month.
