If you've been to the store, you have seen our famous shelf-talkers-- slips of colored paper floating off the edges of the bookshelves. Each shelf-talker has an icon showing whose staff recommendation it is. Like the staff of all bookstores, we are real readers here and quite dedicated to writing our shelf talkers. Come down to the store to check them out, or just read on for a sampling of what we're excited about now.
For every $100 you spend at a local indie business, $68 will stay in the community. When you spend that same $100 at a national chain, only $43 stays in your community.
Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own market: the people in their community. They know you and know what you like and want.
You wouldn’t want your house to look like everyone else’s in the U.S. Why would you want your community to look that way? More diversity in your community enhances its appeal.
