Ya know, if you're going to advertise yourself as a bookseller (along with everything else you sell), you're way better off displaying pictures of books in your publicity material (web site, Google Map listings, Instagram, etc.).

We do everything we can to help submitting authors know if we are the right magazine for their piece. We even list the typical length of stories we publish in a low-tech bar chart. Often, getting a "yes" is just about finding the right #litmag fit! buff.ly/K79OL9S

While it is possible that a single book may not be "interactive and dialogic" - many textbooks lack those qualities.
Obviously this person has never read any actual literature. This is not uncommon in people with a PhD that often have no personal lived experience.

In compiling data for my map of indie brick-and-mortar bookshops (IBMBS?), I've noticed things.
1. There are many stores called Book Nook and Chapter2.
2. Bookshops that are not brick-and-mortar go to some lengths to hide that fact on their websites and ABA descriptions.
