   Downtown SF's Death Spiral Continues as

   Downtown San Francisco is set to lose another treasured small business as   
   Alexander Book Company is set to close, according to its website.   
      
   The owners of Second Street's 32-year-old bookstore wrote in a message   
   posted to the shop’s website, “Alexander Book Company has had a great run,   
   but we've finally reached the last chapter.”   
      
   The message also stated that all books in stock are now 25% off. While a   
   closing date was not specified, some online commentators claimed that   
   Alexander will shutter at the end of next month. If that is the case, the   
   closure will be especially bittersweet, as April 30 is Independent   
   Bookstore Day.   
      
   Perhaps more than most booksellers, the brick-walled, three-story   
   Alexander Book Company has always been primarily oriented toward office   
   workers: It’s open Monday through Friday and closed on weekends. As books   
   have always been a reliable gift among colleagues and professional   
   acquaintances, the store famously did a brisk business around the   
   holidays.   
      
   Although there have been signs of life for small businesses in and around   
   the Financial District, the seemingly permanent shift to hybrid or remote   
   work has clobbered San Francisco’s entire Downtown core.   
      
   San Francisco has also weathered the loss of a number of well-regarded   
   bookstores in the past few years, but beloved enterprises like Dog Eared,   
   Fabulosa, Green Apple and the famous City Lights are thriving. Rather   
   ironically, Amazon, the company that rose to juggernaut status largely on   
   the backs of independent bookstores, recently announced the closure of all   
   four of its register-less Amazon Go locations.   
      
   The Standard has reached out to Alexander Book Company for comment.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed   
   dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
