The Drama Book Shop has a new home .

Lin-Manuel Miranda and three of his collaborators on “Hamilton,” seeking to breathe new life into the cherished but challenged Midtown retailer, said they will reopen it in the spring on West 39th Street, in a garment district storefront just a block south from its previous location.

“It was both a destination for tourists and it was also our hub, and so we wanted to keep it close to the theater district,” Miranda said. “And, too, we’re in the business of creating community, and that’s another thing the Drama Book Shop does, and that’s incalculable — I can’t tell you how many creative teams on theater companies say ‘Let’s go meet at the book shop and talk there’.”

The book shop is a century-old mainstay of the city’s theater community, selling scripts and books about the stage. But recently it has struggled to stay afloat in a pricey real estate market.

Earlier this year, after the book shop’s owners said they were being forced out of their most recent home on West 40th Street, the “Hamilton” team purchased the operation in an effort to rescue it. The new owners are Miranda, who wrote and starred in the blockbuster musical; Thomas Kail, who directed it; Jeffrey Seller, who was the lead producer; and James L. Nederlander, whose company operates the Broadway theater where the musical is running.
