July 18, 2014. After 40 years in business, TheatreBooks, a wonderful bookstore in Toronto, closed. Owners John Harvey and Leonard McHardy created an oasis for those of us in search of the latest play, the perfect gift or the best book on anything dealing with the theatre, dance, film and music. But the economy, fickle buyers and the speed of on-line shopping put an end to that. Something is drastically wrong with the world when that can happen. A sad day.
