When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it.

Supporting indie bookstores isn’t just about where you buy your books—it’s about keeping money in your community. Community is more important now than ever before, and indie bookstores have proven at every turn that they will protect, defend, & care for their community members without hesitation.
