Spearman will serve as CEO and major shareholder. “We want to preserve what we all love about The Tattered Cover and give it the necessary capital to beat COVID,” Spearman said in a recent interview.

The purchase of the 49-year-old independent bookstore was made for an undisclosed amount of money.
