Found a request from Milkweed for Kickstarter support for a new bookshop they hope to open:
Milkweed Books: Because Bookshelves Should Never Be Boring
Sounds like a great idea. Wish we had some similar initiatives in the UK (perhaps we do and I'm not aware?). A shop which says, 'we don't compete with Waterstones etc -- we give readers physical access to a range of new, high-quality titles that you just won't see in the major bookshops, because the small presses that publish them don't have the ££ to push their titles through those outlets.' One day?
