Photo Essay: 'The People of Rizzoli'

Shelf Awareness

Rizzoli Bookstore, which had to close its 57th Street location in New York City last month, paid tribute to its staff with a "farewell photo essay" on the store's blog: "Any great team is only as good as the sum of all its members' strengths, and Rizzoli Bookstore was fortunate to have some of the best booksellers in the city.
It was only through their passion; diversity; dedication; knowledge and well-cultivated tastes that Rizzoli maintained its reputation as one of the most culturally relevant and vibrant destinations in New York City.... We raise a glass to the staff of Rizzoli 57th Street. We salute and bid them adieu. Buona fortuna, to all who have worked in this great palace of books wherever they may go."
