Book It: Harvard Book Store Has New Owners

It's official: Harvard Book Store is in new hands. We hope they're good. Frank Kramer sold the store to Jeff Mayersohn and Linda Seamonson of Wellesley today, after 46 years of ownership. The store has been independent for 75 years--take that, B&N. Mayersohn, a Sox fan (surprise), Harvard grad, and longtime Harvard Book Store customer, is thrilled to take over the operation. Kramer will work for a few months as a consultant, and General Manager Carole Horne will stay on as well. Mayersohn hopes to bring his technical experience to the store. On October 21, Harvard Book Store will host a welcome event so community members can meet Mayersohn and learn about the future of the store.
