Disappearing NYC: Saving Westsider Books

Christopher Ryan January 24, 2019

As of this moment over 800 people contributed to a GoFundMe campaign to save Westsider Books and it all started because the owner, Dorian Thornley, said flippantly in a local blog that if someone wanted to raise 50K he would take it and keep the store open. Well, the wish was granted.
