The store went on to have a festive and eventful weekend, including a lot of holiday shopping and TWO marriage proposals.

And late Monday night, the bookstore tweeted this:
Bookstores are not dead, Part II: Yesterday we had our best sales day in the history of 86 years at the store. So thankful for all of you.

In response, readers, writers, publishers, and book vendors are congratulating Strand, and celebrating the good news.
