Display sign reads “A Nation of Immigrants” above a table of books written by and about immigrants in the U.S.
Not-so-subtle display at my favorite local bookstore.
And a reminder that all the so-called Christians going to church today are all immigrants too. Amen.

One of my happy places is #vromans, celebrating 130 as the original #pasadena independent #bookstore. Yes, I worked there as a young lad, as did my son, both of my sisters, and countless friends. #booksintheblood #books
This! My local (love you #Vromans) will find any book you’re looking for AND they have pens and inks and a staggering amount of very specific fancy socks!
Photo of a high, circular table with a ring of books. Under the “New and Noteworthy Nonfiction” sign is the navy cover of The Conscious Style Guide plus a green sticker indicating it has been signed.
I toured my local bookshops so that I could answer the question “Which section is ‘The Conscious Style Guide’ in?” Places to check before asking staff:
• Staff picks
• New books
• Writing
• References
• Self-help
• Fashion (yup, this happened)
