Nee noted the general decline of bookstores in the Berkeley area over the decades: "In 1977, Berkeley had the heaviest density of booksellers in the world—except maybe London! In those days—within three miles of campus. We've watched it all disappear." In 2008, the Bay Area still supported three separate science fiction and fantasy bookstores. In early 2010, The Other Change of Hobbit received an eviction notice, as the building at 2020 Shattuck had been sold, and the new owners hoped to put a restaurant in the space. in April 2010, the store relocated to a large, single-story building at 3264 Adeline Street. Fantasy writer Peter S. Beagle put together a series of benefit sales, of works related to his novel "The Last Unicorn", the film version, and a work by Avram Davidson, to help with the finances of the move. The store reported receiving an eviction notice in 2013, and relocated again, this time to a site on Kearney Street in El Cerrito, CA. As of July 16, 2014, the store has vacated the Kearney Street address. The store has hosted hundreds of author appearances.
