Or we have a tea for them (Louise Penny) or wine and cheese (Julia Spencer Fleming) or a lunch (Mary Higgins Clark/William Kent Krueger) We LOVE our authors! Though we are "north of cool" in age, the three of us who own the place still think books are the best things ever invented. My hope for the future is there will always be people like Jean Luc on Star Trek who prefer an actual book, and not an electronic substitution. You guys keep writing; we'll keep reading.

It was in one of the cottage like buildings that evoke an old Cape Cod, and had all these wonderful nooks and crannies. The people that came to the store were of all different ages and stripes so to speak. It is no longer there, but my small town now supports five book stores, each with its own population, so to speak. I buy all my Jeffrey Siger books from mine, long may it survive!lil Glucksternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288522126331817172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-15138382546700088002012-10-13T15:54:36.500-04:002012-10-13T15:54:36.500-04:00Sounds like a great bookshop.

Taking a look at the photos you provided, the average age of the "dedicated fans" appears to be somewhere north of "no longer cool," which doesn't bode well for the long-term health of the business.<br /><br />Sigh.<br />Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.com
