Greetings & Readings moved to the Hunt Valley Towne Centre in Baltimore County, Maryland in 2005 and is now co-owned by the founders' son, Steven Baum, and son-in-law, Stephen Spund. "What makes our bookstore distinctive," Baum said, "is our staff. They know books, they care about books and they care about the customers."
