by Ann Kjellberg, editor There is something special about travelling into the middle of the nation, where booksellers far from the overhyped coasts are seeking out readers, finding them where they are, navigating in the world that distance between the solitude of the writer’s desk and the great shifting unknown of the reading public.
Greetings from Paris! I've been working my way through your Notebooks (which I've thoroughly enjoyed), and was surprised to hear that you were at Heartland! I was there as well, thanks to Carrie and Larry. It was such a phenomenal experience, and the kindness and generosity of the booksellers there (Janet, Danny, and others) only reconfirmed my dreams to open my own bookshop one day.
I hope you're doing well! I look forward to reconnecting soon :)
It's always sweet to read about private owned bookstores. Especially with your novel-like descriptions.
I'm so glad I got some the charm across! It's a joy to make these pilgrimages.
Lovely, Ann. I loved your descriptions of your experience with Source Booksellers and its owner.
I really felt like I should have said *more*! It is such a special place. Here are some pictures: https://www.instagram.com/p/CyjYt-5p-oq/?img_index=5
So cool. Great photos.
