Karma Bookstore, an offshoot of the Karma gallery on Second Street, closed yesterday at 136 E. Third St. between Avenue A and First Avenue.
After seven years here, the shop specializing in books on contemporary art, as well as rare and special editions, is moving on.
I stopped by yesterday and talked with Karma's Matt Shuster and Madison Shopene.

"We loved being in the East Village, and we hope to be back soon," they said.
Here's a look at the last day here...
Karma was a welcomed addition to the neighborhood, taking over the storefront that housed the last iteration of St. Mark's Bookshop. Here's hoping they return somewhere nearby.
