Case in point:

Dear Publishers and Distributors of Books, I would love it if you could stop shipping me damaged and irredeemably dirty books. It’s hard enough to get people to buy books when they are beautiful and perfectly packaged. Sincerely, Everyone Who Has Ever Owned or Worked in a Bookstore

Okay, okay. I know I’ve been a bit absent lately, but I have a good reason, which I am going to reveal right here and now…I haven’t posted much of anything in the last couple of months because, drumroll please, I’m opening a new bookstore!!! @botanicabooks.bsky.social! IG: @botanicabks

The last few weeks have gone by in a blur, but we've gotten so much done including having nine 7ft tall bookshelves delivered to our third floor space. Today those bookshelves were primed for painting. We are one step closer to opening our beautiful bookshop! www.instagram.com/reel/DNBrpqi...
