Each will continue her work with the same spirit as before, but they will begin to share projects, ideas, and analyses to address the current situation, which bears little resemblance to when they started. Times are tough for neighborhood bookstores, and Quart Creixent (Palma) and La 22 (Girona) know this all too well. Therefore, with the support of Abacus, these two historic establishments have formed an alliance that seeks to strengthen them and, above all, preserve them as they are.</p>]]></description>
