Ed Koster closed David's Books in June after a twenty-seven-year run. The bookstore, founded in the late 1970s by David Kozubei, had occupied a series of spaces on Liberty and State streets.

Koster is philosophical about the closure. "The rent was going up and the profit from the books was going down," he says. "I guess the landlord just wanted to pursue a higher-paying tenant."
