Something to keep in mind next time you're thinking of supporting a local book seller. Luckily there's other options around.
American here. This really makes me think twice before supporting a local business. Its not really something i have thought of or considered before. Independant book stores tend to be more liberal. But i see otherwise here. Wow.
Craziness comes in all shapes and forms, I'm surprised as well; As you're right that bookstores generally do seem more progressively minded.
I'd feel confident in saying many others are completely fine to shop at.
Who would have thought that learning leads to a more progressive outlook on life?
