Penn, Book Center still haven't signed new lease Both Tom Lussenhop, the University's top real estate official, and Achilles Nickles, the store's owner, said on Tuesday that they expected to a sign a lease yesterday for the former location of Sam Goody at 34th and Sansom streets. But Lussenhop said yesterday that an agreement has not yet been reached. It is unclear exactly when the lease will be signed. Under the terms of the deal, the Book Center would remain in its present location -- near the corner of 38th and Walnut streets -- through the beginning of the fall semester. The store will likely move into its new location in November. Students and professors have long prized the 35-year campus landmark as a source of hard-to-find books. -- Seth Grossman
