As we noted last week, April 30th is Independent Bookstore Day. And while official participation in Philadelphia proper is, to put it charitably, low, we still wish support our local indie bookstores. For they are our lifeblood, our inspiration zones, our constant friends. As you move about the town tomorrow, do drop by one of the above (click on their names for more info) and treat yourself to something good and rich and true: A new (or new to you) book!
