Newtonville Books opened its doors at its new location a week ago, and the local independent bookstore at its grand opening this past Thursday night was packed even before the advertised 7pm celebration start date.
Boston-area literary notables, emerging writers and the general public intermingled at the new gorgeous space. Read on for photos of a few of them. All photos below were taken by writer/photographer Stanley Dankoski.

So wish I had been there. Can’t wait to visit their new digs. Love seeing my book on display. What a thrill!
