Should Willow Books Remain a Bookstore?

The store, which has operated since 1996, is up for sale.

Willow Books—an Acton institution since 1996— is up for sale.

Owner David Didriksen put the bookstore on the market as his retirement nears and he pursues a music career.

"The surrounding community has supported Willow Books & Cafe, and has been supported by it," Didriksen said in a statement. "Now is the perfect time to transition to a new owner who will bring the same passion for bookselling which has always been the hallmark of the store."

Walter Huskins of Ridge Hill Partners is handling the sale.
