Barnes & Noble sets its opening date for Avenue A with author Douglas Stuart

Barnes & Noble has announced a Nov. 18 opening date for its new East Village location at 181 Avenue A between 11th and 12th Streets.
The debut includes a ribbon-cutting ceremony and signing with award-winning author Douglas Stuart, an East Village resident whose work includes "Shuggie Bain," "Young Mungo" and "John of John." 

The 11,300-square-foot bookstore will be the first retail tenant in the base of the Steiner East Village condoplex, where the storefront has remained vacant since residents began moving in eight years ago. 

A few other details: 
• This outpost is also hiring booksellers.
• This Barnes & Noble will not have a cafe. 
• The Avenue A location has its own Instagram account.

H/T EVG readers Josh and Gary!
