Had a very enjoyable day at the shop today. My old friend Dean dropped by, always nice. We are taking off on a 4 day golf trip in a few weeks so we had a little planning session that went something like this. 'Ron is thinking of walking some of the courses I want to drive.' I agreed wholeheartedly(the course are a little hilly!). My Dad popped in the shop, my friends Mina and Diane popped in. Oh...and we sold a few books to. We had an older gentleman pop in for the first time and he practically scolded me because he had walked by here a few times and never knew we sold books here - That I should have done more to inform him. Hummm, the sign out front is a picture of a boy holding a book, there are books displayed in the window and the 1 foot high lettering says ' Zeeba Livres (french for books)...I always get a kick out of visitors telling me I'm not spending enough on advertising, that word of mouth isn't really enough. They tell me this while standing inside my shop :)
Here's a little article from the New York Times with its take on some great fiction.
