Episode 23: You can, in fact, buy happiness for the price of a book.

As you think about what to buy your friends and family this holiday season, maybe it’s time to think big. No, not a car with a red bow on it. (Stupid commercials. Who buys someone a car?) Think books. Something that will change the way they see the world - how Dickensian is that? I have some great, local places for you to shop and some bookstore owners you need to know. I am joined by owners Kathryn Lynn and Britni Brecheen of Second Story Books in OKC, Charles Martin, creative director of Literati Press in Paseo Arts District, and Jason Daniels, co-owner of The Banned Press Bookshop, a bookshop that might pop-up when you least expect it. We are going to talk about the why, the how, and the where of opening a bookstore, some of their book recommendations, and why buying from indy bookstores can change your community more than you might realize.
