As I wander through and say hey to Bob Ritchie at his Dogtown Book Shop in the heart of beautiful Downtown Gloucester I can’t help but wonder how one ever could walk away from such a labor of love. It’s obvious Bob has a passion for books. The shelves are stocked with hard to find,significant or interesting books. I wonder how does someone value a business like this and turn it over to someone else when it’s an incredible amount of work and passion that went into building it?
Wouldn’t it have to be someone that took it over that would have that same kind of passion for the same type of material and is there someone out there that exists that could possibly put in one tenth of the passion to make the transition and keep the joint running?
I hope so, because places like the Dogtown Book Shop are real treasures to a community.
Good Morning Gloucester 
treasure trove !
