We’ve always wondered how Freebird Books & Goods, a charming little used book shop tucked away on Columbia Street (near Kane Street), managed to stay in business. After all, their clientele always seemed more focused on hanging out than dropping cash — and they couldn’t have brought in that much profit on their sales of beer, wine, and corn dogs. Still, we were bummed to hear the rumor that one of Freebird’s partners was pulling out. Apparently, after an unsuccessful effort to find someone to fill that partner’s shoes, they put the shop up for sale on Craiglist, with 20,000 books and a desktop computer included in the deal. The shop is health department-approved and has restaurant and wine and beer licenses. — KZ
