look at this
As novelist Christopher Morley once said, a book isn’t just paper and ink“ it’s a whole new life.” Thank you, Yankee Bookshop, for helping The Cultural Heritage Resilience of the Great Dismal Swamp to find its readers, and for being the beating heart of Woodstock’s literary community for generations.
****Each independent bookstore that has carried my book has done so through their own curatorial judgment. Not once have I needed to make a promotional call; a fact I find deeply gratifying, as the business of selling has never aligned with my sensibilities. What buyers choose is their own right, and I am glad some indie bookstores took that chance with me.
