After months of worrying that their time on Queen Street West would soon be up, Pages Books and Magazines has been granted a six-month extension on their lease by owners Pinedale Properties, to August of 2009. The store announced the change early this morning in a press release, in which proprietor Marc Glassman cited “grassroots initiatives such as the ‘Save Pages Books!’ facebook group as well as support on the part of City Hall.” (“Adam Vaughan’s terrific team,” in particular, gets a nod.) According to Glassman, “We’ll continue to work with Pinedale in hopes of securing a longer lease….[but] realistically, Pages will be looking for other locations as well.”
