In 1985 it released the first computer encyclopedia, Grolier's Academic American Encyclopedia.

Grolier's first CD-ROM publication was the text-only Academic American Encyclopedia on CD-ROM in 1985, and was one of the first commercial CD-ROM titles.

Despite the Grolier's fame in poetry circles — a 75th anniversary celebration by the Poetry Society of America drew a crowd of over 800 people, and Grolier's is listed as a " poetry landmark " by the Academy of American Poets — Solano announced in 2004 that, having lost money for the previous two years, the Grolier would be sold.

Much of the activity at Grolier's under Cairnie's management was of the social kind: visitors lounged on a red couch while sharing drinks with the owners.

Grolier's earlier CD-ROM encyclopedia was not multimedia.

It had a strong presence among the under-six demographic, the target of Grolier's direct mail-to-the-home business.

The causes of the shop's troubles are numerous: a rise in Internet bookselling that made it easier to find rare titles online, increasing store theft, rising rent from the Grolier's landowner ( Harvard University ), a growth in university-centered, as opposed to community-centered, creative writing opportunities, and the rise of chain stores in the Harvard Square area that have reduced the area's attractiveness to the Grolier's target market.
