'Bookstores Make Artists'

Shelf Awareness

"Bookstores make artists. The ability to wander and browse. To buy not by algorithm but by whim. To be surprised by a book or a cover or a fellow browser and what he's pulling off the shelf. Record stores, bookstores and coffee shops are the holy trinity of arts incubation. And bookstores are the Father."

--Kirk Lynn, author of the Summer/Fall 2015 Indies Introduce title Rules for Werewolves, in a q&a with Bookselling This Week
