A Plea For Assistance For An Institution

Pandemonium Books & Games has been part of the New England fandom
community for 17 years. Carrying Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror and
Humor related books, CDs, games and artwork. Early last year it moved
from it's cramped quarters in Harvard Square Cambridge to a more
spacious location in Central Square Cambridge (4 Pleasant Street).

Along the way the owner was plagued by a number of problems, including
promises made that were not kept by the contractor doing the work on
the new site, so that the store was closed for nearly 3 months without
any revenue while the retail space was prepared and brought up to the
strict zoning construction codes of Cambridge.

The new site was designed to allow the store to host on-site book
signings, readings, social gatherings, small venue concerts, and to
accommodate the need in this crowded city for gamers, readers and
authors to gather.

Now Pandemonium is in financial trouble, due to debt they took on from
the reconstruction of the site and the many months they were closed.
They need help and are asking all their friends and customers to show
their appreciation of a small regional specialized bookstore like
this.
