SUPPORT BOOKSTORES
"Bookstores are lonely forts, spilling light onto the sidewalk. They civilize their neighborhoods."—John Updike
Craig signs AND IT WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE at This House of Books in Billings, Montana.
A note from Craig ...
The past several years have challenged our lives and livelihoods, our health, our bonds with each other, and the very foundations of our democracy.
Now, more than ever, we’re reliant on each other in our communities to get through these challenges.
We know how important stories are to fortifying our bonds with each other, and we know that community-minded independent bookstores help show us our shared humanity and strengthen our towns and cities by their very presence. Bookstores are indispensable, in my opinion, absolute pillars of the communities they serve. This is true of my hometown independent, This House of Books, and all the many bookstores in my state, and it’s true of every bookstore that puts out a shingle and engages with the people of its community.
Please support them with your patronage.
