Independent Bookstores

Between August 30 and October 23 I had the privilege of visiting a dozen independent bookstores to talk about Studs Terkel. Met wonderful people working at each store and got to talk to numerous patrons. Just happy these bookstores are alive and providing local, community alternatives to Amazon, etc… Shout outs to:

Broadway Books (Portland)

Bookends & Beginnings (Evanston)

57st Bookstore (Chicago)

Woodlawn Pattern Bookstore (Milwaukee)

MacsBacks on Coventry (Cleveland Heights)

Red Emma’s (Baltimore)

The Potter’s House (Washington D.C.)

Bluestockings (NYC)

Flyleaf Books (Chapel Hill)

Firestorm Café and Books (Asheville)

Moe’s Bookstore (Berkeley)

Modern Times (San Francisco)

Sadly, Modern Times is closing on November 15. I want to thank all of these community spaces—loved being at each store. At this point I want to say that Red Emma’s in Baltimore is my favorite bookstore in the World.
