It's a beautiful, chilly (but thankfully not blustery) Saturday morning, and the bookstore is open. Swing by and take a look at these beautiful art calendars, books, and maps. And don't forget, it's #SmallBusinessSaturday

Yes, we have maps for sale in our bookstore. Have always loved maps and personally still have old maps of the USSR - where it was printed on the map, that the annexation of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia was NOT recognized as legal. Crimea is Ukraine.

Two unrelated(!) titles in the bookstore for you... Stop by the bookstore all weekend for special savings and sales, check out our website, and remember, there is a big online bookstore (bookshop.org) that actually gives back to indie bookstores! bergstrompressbooks.com/en/search?co...

It's a beautiful Saturday morning, take a sanity break from the news, from social media, and go browse an indie bookstore, visit a farmer's market, or just go for a walk. #indiebookstore
