In Praise of Independent Bookstores
"Now that Borders has collapsed, sadly taking out a third of book store distribution in America, it is greatly hoped that independent bookstores will be in a stronger position going forward. Need I say such stores add so much character and life to any neighborhood in the country blessed to have one. So please go visit an indie and buy a book, preferably, if you live in the Chicago area, at the literary haven called The Book Stall at Chestnut Court, in Winnetka, Illinois.
Why am I so partial to this particular store and its respected impresario, Roberta Rubin? Very simple. Roberta’s advocacy on behalf of The Hundred-Foot Journey got my book (paperback due out Aug. 9) on the prestigious Indie Next List for the month of August. I look forward to the day I can thank her in person."
