i am a huge fan of independent bookstores. (i tend to root for the underdog...) don't get me wrong, i enjoy barnes and noble, borders, etc., but i actually worked for an independent bookstore for a while in louisville (hawley-cooke booksellers, r.i.p.) when you shop at a local kind of place, you get a flavor of what the place is like. you wouldn't travel to new england, and then eat at long john silver's to try to catch the local flavor of seafood, would you?
when i first walked into the blue manatee, i fell in love with it. it's witty, charming, childish, and unique. the signatures and drawings of some of children's literature's greatest adorn the walls. and they have been nothing but supportive of me. so i just wanted to say thanks to them for being so kind to me over the past few months since i started this little endeavor.
