There are so many reasons to shop at indie bookstores, but there’s also this: we as booksellers love what we do. There’s really no other reason to do it. And we try to bring that joy to the shopping experience. Whether you end up talking to us or not. It’s there in every detail of the store.

Stephen Sondheim wasn't just a great composer. He also offered life lessons through his music & lyrics, at least according to historian Richard Schoch in the delightful "How Sondheim Can Change Your Life." I wrote about it for Shelf Awareness. #books #booksky www.shelf-awareness.com/sar-issue.ht...
