The View From the Indie Bookseller

I really liked this thread from independent bookseller Charlotte Moore-Lambert; it starts:

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now.

One of her observations:

little old Southern ladies come in looking for books to help them better understand their kids or grandkids who are transitioning and/or gender nonconforming. people want to connect with their autistic kids, their chronically ill siblings, their immigrant neighbors. I see it every day. every day.

Here’s the whole thread on one page.
