This week, we’re diving into the world of bookselling, rather than book writing, just for a change in perspective. For the last 20+ years, I’ve enjoyed visiting Island Books (islandbooksri.indielite.org) in Middletown, RI. I’ve gotten to know the owner, Judy Crosby, and her friendly and incredibly well-read staff.
When the pandemic hit, we all know of retail and other small businesses that were hurt and, in many cases, had to close. But Island Books, like so many other independent booksellers, continued to connect their customers and community to books and they are still going strong. I was so pleased to be joined by Judy Crosby recently to talk about her journey with Island Books, what she cares about in the books she’s read, how the store has survived a topsy turvy world, and the future of the store.
