Support the Independents

And yes, you have excellent selections of books, TV and movies.

At 7:54am on June 10, 2007, Glen C. Allison said…: Brandt, let me add my enthusiastic "Here, here!" to your blog about supporting independent mystery bookstores. In fact, ALL independent stores. I'm blessed to have signed at Reed's Gumtree Bookstore here in Tupelo, one of only four bookstores that would host John Grisham when he started out. (And where Grisham still comes to sign books every year.)
