NYT:
WASHINGTON — First came shock — the venerated Politics and Prose bookstore here was up for sale. Then, almost immediately, the fantasies started — what would it be like to be the new owner, an influential tastemaker at the intersection of the nation’s political and literary worlds?….
Mr. Sagalyn said he and Franklin Foer, editor of The New Republic and one of Mr. Sagalyn’s clients, have been in preliminary discussions with Ms. Meade and Ms. Cohen about buying the bookstore as part of a larger group of buyers. Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic and a nearby resident, said he is part of the same interested group. Mr. Sagalyn declined to name the others in the group, although he said all of them are customers of the store.
