Midnight Special still not home

The Midnight Special bookstore won't reopen at its new location on 2nd Street in Santa Monica -- off the Promenade, its home until last spring -- before December. City permit hassles have delayed the move-in. A story is online at Publishers Weekly. Thanks for the tip to the daily news blog at CaliforniaAuthors.com.
