My friend A. K. Klemm is the author of a great novella, “The Bookshop Hotel,” which had me wanting to build the bookstore she describes just so I could live/work there. Seriously, it’s great, and you should totally buy it (online from a local bookstore, naturally).
In the meantime, check out her review (first in a series) of another bookstore she visited while on a book signing tour of San Antonio.
