This is why you need to support your local #bookstore.

Square Books just sent me a certificate of achievement for selling the most books during a 2 month probation period!

The sales from their store, in 2 months, far surpassed any online service over almost a year.

Good news everybody!

Just got the sales analysis for December and January for Square Books down in Mississippi, and they sold 80% of the 2000 copies they procured!

They will likely be ordering more very soon.
