I’m in your shop enough to have gotten to know you a bit, and I have to say I look forward to our little chats. Usually dreary, both of us tired from life, we bitch a bit and share a laugh. I just wanna say it’s a little something to look forward to on my walks home. Thanks. —Chicken Little

I am totally grooving on all the retail love this morning. Gotta say, on Saturday night I was treated to 2 young ladies from Kings (no, not the start of a limerick – sorry). Enthusiastic, took their time exploring, weren’t shy of asking questions, spent a fair bit, one was extremely solicitous of one of our regulars who was navigating out the door with his walker as she was coming in. Just 2 really nice young people.
Bookvendors appreciate pleasant surprises.
