Arts advocate, author Linda Kass opens Bexley bookstore

One of the few independent bookstores to open in the Columbus area in more than a decade has quietly launched in Bexley — across the street from the public library. Gramercy Books, at 2424 E. Main St., is a labor of love and a decades-long dream for Bexley resident Linda Kass, an advocate of the arts and author of the recently released novel “Tasa’s Song,” about a Jewish girl growing up in Poland before and during World War II.
