After months of anticipation, East End Books Boston opened its doors in the Seaport District at 11am Saturday.

What's happening: The bookstore, a Boston outpost for the Provincetown-based East End Books, is starting with a soft opening during the holidays before closing to complete the build-out, according to the company's email newsletter.

The bookstore plans to reopen in time for a March 11 event with author Coinneach MacLeod, who recently published, "The Hebridean Baker: My Scottish Island Kitchen."

Context: East End Books Boston is the latest attraction in a neighborhood that's experienced rapid development, including high-rise offices and condos and a Trader Joe's.

When complete, East End Books will serve wine, tapas and, of course, books, with appearances from award-winning authors.

In the meantime, the bookstore plans to host a book event and reception Monday with Jenny Slate (yes, that Jenny Slate) and Julia Glass, author of "Three Junes."
