Thomas Beard decided to let go of his sizable book collection during the pandemic. And thus Monday Night Books, a weekly pop-up shop, was born.
Thomas Beard was sitting at a desk the other day, in a small room in the back of Light Industry, a film and electronic-arts venue, of which he is a founder. A vase of yellow tulips was before him. In April, Light Industry will move to new digs, and, in the interim, Beard has decided to use the back room for an unusual project: selling all his books. The thought of letting go of his collection, amassed over twenty years and largely kept in storage, came to him during the pandemic.
And so: Monday Night Books. “I figured I could do it one evening a week,” he said. “It seemed perfect.” With neat, side-parted hair, a dark cardigan, and a brown knit tie, Beard brought to mind an early-sixties adman on a weekend morning. “This isn’t really a business—it’s a slow-motion garage sale,” he went on. “When the books are gone, I’ll close up shop.” The only items he has decided to keep are his working library of film books and his cookbooks. “But only proper cookbooks!” he clarified.
