Another evocative indie bookstore name: Books Are Magic in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. And how can you resist walking into an establishment with a sign outside that says “Book People”? There are at least two stores with that name in the United States: one in Austin, Texas and another in Richmond, Virginia. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “More Bookstore Names”
A couple more bookstore names I can really identify with, one of which is Books Are Magic.
That’s in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and also Book People. There’s one in Austin, Texas, and there’s one in Richmond, Virginia. There are Book People everywhere.
Martha, I know. I know, but don’t you, if if you were in Austin or you were in Richmond and you were passing by this store, wouldn’t you walk in because it says Book People?
I’d go in, yeah.
And if they’re closed, I’d look at their website.
Yeah, definitely.
Right there, standing in the street on your phone.
By the way, if your independent bookstore is closed because of current circumstances, a lot of them are doing online ordering.
And some of them have put their whole inventory online.
So be sure to check and see if they have what you want and they can ship it out to you.
And then call us to talk about what you find there.
