    It’s all well and good to say “Support indie stores!” but there are huge swaths of America where there aren’t any.

Well, there goes my go to war cry.

On a more serious note, I wonder how difficult it would be to start a book collective, kind of like IGA, but with books instead of groceries. I tend to think those organizations sound really reasonable and I'm kind of surprised they're not more common (or maybe they are and I just don't notice them).
