Gino Dela Paz of the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Datelines:
"We chose the name Datelines because we wanted it tobe a place where people can go and learn somethingnew, as a journalist does when he goes to variousplaces to chase stories," so goes Iris Gonzales ofBusinessWorld newspaper.The idea for the two-month-old alternative bookshopwas born three years ago but only came to fruition in2004. "We decided to finally make the dream happen inSeptember last year when we had dinner [for the firsttime] at [nearby] Bellini's. We saw the charm of the[Marikina Shoe Expo] and fell in love with it. It'sfree-spirited and bohemian, without the distractionsof commercialism, " Iris recalls.
And the bookworms keep on coming. "The response hasbeen very encouraging, " she says. "Clients are asvaried as our books-writers, journalists,photographers, artists, young professionals,activists, cultural workers, librarians and children."Wait, did she say "activists"? G-a-n-g-s-t- a!
Some of their hardcover books are even less expensivecompared to the softbound books of the same title inother bookstores. "Our second hand books can go as lowas P5 to about P200 plus," Iris discloses. "We also sell other items such as bookshelves or bookends,which can range from P300 to P2000 plus."Iris also expects more original establishments to openshortly. "In the early '70s, Cubao was the only place.We believe it is now time for Cubao to 'reconquer' its glory."
