How do you move a bookstore? Teamwork!
When October Books, a small radical bookshop in Southampton, England, was moving to a new location down the street, it faced a problem. How could it move its entire stock to the new spot without spending a lot of money or closing down for long? Volunteers showed up, formed a line 500 feet long to make a human conveyor belt and moved more than 2,000 books in an hour. The new, permanent location of October Books has its grand opening on Saturday.
