If you ever wondered what kinds of conversations bookstores have behind the scenes about small business economics, community, obstacles, and current legislative landscapes, this is for you. Caine profiles a host of excellent stores who have faced different types of struggles that apply to other bookstores and small businesses in general. Read this to understand a bit more about the role we play in our community, our industry, the role we WANT to play in our community, the barriers we face, economic and legislative concerns you don’t see as a consumer, and so much more.
