Like Amazon thought publishers were doing it all wrong, so he started a company and changed the book business.

As you say, like buying local produce.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560755679498126758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146194488030637443.post-41699776420515053612013-07-31T18:58:37.902-07:002013-07-31T18:58:37.902-07:00Hi Phyllis.

Good topic.<br />Best<br />Jo-AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146194488030637443.post-53958408918204290702013-07-31T14:20:35.208-07:002013-07-31T14:20:35.208-07:00Hey, Phyllis.

I don't have to strain to read it either. LOL But there's nothing like walking into a bookstore and inhaling. I'm thinking of books, but I can get on board with the chocolate! :)<br />I'm in the north Texas area, and in the mid-cities there is a B & N that encourages and holds book signings for authors. Not all do, of course. That may be something of a local decision. Not sure. <br />I love your idea of having a section devoted to local authors. Doesn't that just make sense? I was visiting in a small Vermont town and they did have a whole wall of local writers. It was great; some were indie or self-pubbed. I discovered an author I really like. It's a little like buying your produce from local growers. Just makes sense. Fingers crossed B & N reads and follows your suggestions. We need to keep them and encourage the smaller indie stores, too. There should be room for all. Thanks for a great post.

I can NEVER find what I'm looking for on their shelves. "We can order it for you and have it shipped free!" Yeah, I can do that with Amazon too... and I didn't have to leave my house to do it. *grumble*<br /><br />I'm glad to see some of the independent bookstores are thriving and I'd bet they're catering to their reader (not just consumer) experience!<br /><br />Great post, Phyllis!Kristen Kosterhttp://www.kristenkoster.comnoreply@blogger.com
