"Everyone is sad about the shift of location, but they've been very supportive of us," says Sudderth, noting that Mount Airy is the kind of place that demands a bookstore. "The community is very, very, very well-read. It's often called a university town without a university . . . a housing district for professors." He pauses, then adds: "It's kind of like a miniature Swarthmore within the city. I can't think of a better neighborhood to operate a bookstore."
