Rafael Nadal of Spain holds the trophy after he wins his match against Robin Soderling of Sweden during the final of the Capitala Tennis Championships in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Saturday, Jan. 2, 2010.

Well Read Books which has been located at 519 Court Street for more than two years, moved across the street to 530 Court Street. It closed for a couple weeks while it moved; it reopens today.

Book store owner Brian Warren said the new location is smaller - which he described as a mostly good thing. The current bookstore has a lot of extra space, he said. Warren ends up putting out several more copies of books than are needed as well as some books that aren't selling - just to fill shelf space.

The new location, he said, will allow him to consolidate, which will help make the store more profitable. Furthermore, the new space is one level, which Warren said will make it easier to manage. The store usually only has one employee at a time.
