On wintry Oregon nights
Janet Brown & Linna Thomas dreamed of opening a bookstore.
In July of
1973, their dream became a reality when they opened Coalesce Bookstore in Morro
Bay California. |

The founding philosophy of
the store is inherent in its name. The word "coalesce" means to grow
together, to unite. "That joining has always been the aim of the
bookstore." says Linna. "We wanted everyone to feel comfortable at
Coalesce, to find something of value."

The original Coalesce
Bookstore opened in 1973, near where The Blue Sail Inn now stands on Harbor
Boulevard.

Janet & Linna were
intent on founding a bookstore that would also be a community center, a place
where all would be welcome, frequent events and happenings would be hosted, and wonderful books, gifts and music would be available.

We thank our customers and supporters, acknowledging that what we do would not be possible were it
not for each of you.
