Looks like I am now going to be available in Barnes and Noble - and I am still on the prowl for a good bookstore location.<BR/>The place I wanted, the old "Haunt" bookstore fell through...but I am a teancious guy. I will find something soon, I just know it!AJ Llewellynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784452201957162746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685033352465738798.post-12113046388726027452008-12-24T13:51:00.000+00:002008-12-24T13:51:00.000+00:00Excellent post, AJ.

We have one book store in city where I live (Chapters), one small independant store that sells comics and manga, and two used books stores. In a city of over 100,000, that's kind of sad.<BR/><BR/>So the problem doesn't plague just your neck of the woods. If anyone can fix it, though, pretty sure you can. ;>Jaime Sammshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756034484406953047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685033352465738798.post-31573508485927001122008-12-24T03:01:00.000+00:002008-12-24T03:01:00.000+00:00How sad - and fabulous that you're going to fix th...How sad - and fabulous that you're going to fix the problem! I'm so excited about your bookstore, can't wait to come check it out when you're up and running.<BR/><BR/>Much of what you're running into is the cookie-cutter bookstore problem and the huge reduction in independent bookstores who dare to carry something other than mass market. So glad you're picking up the challenge! And we'll be sure to send you some great stories for the B in GLBT!<BR/><BR/>AdrianaAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01628092657976031124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685033352465738798.post-8306739979599792622008-12-23T23:23:00.000+00:002008-12-23T23:23:00.000+00:00Hey at least you have more than one actual booksto...Hey at least you have more than one actual bookstore there. Here in Klamath we only have Boarders, and what you can get in Fred Meyers, K-mart, Bi-Mart, Wal-Mart, and the grocery stores. Not a whole lot to pick from either.<BR/><BR/>It's one of the reasons I love Amazon.com and the e-book publishers. I can get what I want almost right when I want it.<BR/><BR/>But Sweetie You are a published writer, you WILL own your own bookstore...where you WILL show off your own books and those of other authors you respect. I believe in you Kiddo. And so does DJ.<BR/><BR/>Love NitaNitaelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103774134649816222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685033352465738798.post-29805398584694528882008-12-23T21:15:00.000+00:002008-12-23T21:15:00.000+00:00I'm not surprised, AJ.As you said it's tough to fi...I'm not surprised, AJ.<BR/>As you said it's tough to find any bookstores, much less gay book stores.<BR/>We ran a children's book store thirty years ago in Minneapolis up against B.
