authors share thoughts on independent bookstores some of our favorite authors recently shared thoughts with us on what independent bookstores mean to them there is a little independent bookstore down the street from my house three lives where i buy almost all of my books it s the size of a small apartment there s something special about a place where you know that someone has thought about every book in the store malcolm gladwell what the dog saw independent and bookstore are two of my favorite words and when you put them together it stirs my heart and usually gets me reaching for my wallet i ve worked in independent bookstores sometimes slept in them after hours when i had no where else to go and now feel they re my home away from home whenever i pry myself out of the cave of my studio to
