Hey, who else would a writer support but a bookstore:D Even better, Melanie’s shop has an online search tool so I can find my books before I go.
Instead of fighting the mall traffic, visit your neighborhood bookstore and discover a more meaningful gift this year. (You do know most of those gift cards you’ve been giving are still tucked in a drawer somewhere, don’t you?)
Not sure where to go? Coming up is Small Business Saturday on November 30th, and Dog-Eared Pages in Phoenix presents Authorpalooza. Ten amazing Arizona authors, just in time for holiday shopping (almost like they planned it that way). “Besides,” Melanie, the owner of Dog-Eared Pages says, “it’s so much fun to fill the store with the creative, talented minds of authors.”
Starts at 2:00 on Saturday, November 30th.

More book stores need to do this. Since the demise of all the big box book stores the independents need to put themselves out there and remind people that book stores still exsist.
