Very cool story! I used to be in publishing sales 20 years ago, when mom and pops were still holding their own against ‘the chains’ of B&N, Borders & Waldenbooks in the malls. It seems now the only chain in town survives by acting like an independent bookstore. So basically we’ve come full circle! Hysterical. The old quote ‘do what you love, the money will follow’ seems appropriate.

I also like to believe that as the article mentioned, even in this highly technological society, nothing beats the overwhelming power of the written word on a physical page. Hope that urge never dies out.
