This post was too good not to share. It is from Shelf Awareness. As there are fewer independent bookstores, it is great to support those who provide great service. When Brenda and I did our first book tour in January 2002, we drove down the coast of California from Carmel to San Diego, stopping at independent book stores. We met some great owners along the way.

Beacon’s Special Delivery

Beacon Press associate publisher Tom Hallock about to deliver via bicycle a few more copies Nancy Gertner’s memoir, In Defense of Women, to Brookline Booksmith, Brookline, Mass. The moral of this revolutionary ride, as the press put it: “Beacon Press will go the extra mile for indie bookstores… on a bike!”
