One of the things that made me happiest when we moved from Chicago to Portland, OR a decade ago was discovering Powell's Books, an independent bookstore here that fills a whole city block with more than a million new, used, and out of print books. <br /><br />They're extremely author-friendly and I've had nothing but good experiences with them.Susan Bodendo/Super Earthlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552499547660991944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-48527745672753824502012-04-16T16:22:22.070-07:002012-04-16T16:22:22.070-07:00Thank you for including my state, California.

Quite a few are supportive of local authors, some even having special shelves just for us. You are right that the state is big. So big, that ‘local’ does not mean from California, but from a nearby town.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-55825565831182992532012-04-16T14:08:44.036-07:002012-04-16T14:08:44.036-07:00Oh yea!.

Then again, I guess they have to know the specific demographics for each of their locations. Metro Atlanta is fairly writer-friendly, but the rest of the state, not so much.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-74261580094067236422012-04-16T09:30:27.760-07:002012-04-16T09:30:27.760-07:00I heart the Granite state!
