Books rock! Our family has lost track of time hanging out in our city’s many amazing stores, more times than I count. While there are always national and international chains, as well as numerous online sellers, there’s something more personal and thoughtful about shopping from our local bookstores. In addition, many have a specialized focus, where you can find something new and different beyond the usual bestseller list. Plus they are filled with great gift ideas for any member of the family, any time of year and for any occasion.
