Bookselling
Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego is seeking new ownership after 25 years of operation. Co-owners Maryelizabeth Yturralde and Terry Gilman also run Creating Conversations, which sells books at events throughout Southern California, and said in a statement that they "just don’t have the bandwidth to effectively operate two businesses." However, if they can't find a buyer, Yturralde says the store will stay open and they "won’t abandon our staff or our greater community."
