Yesterday's solar eclipse was a major event, whether or not you were in the "path of totality." Many indie booksellers joined in the fun, including:
BookPeople, Austin, Tex.: "As you may have heard, weather conditions are looking cloudy and possibly rainy during the total solar eclipse on Monday. That said, we are still unwavering in our excitement for our watch party, Picnic in the Parking Lot! Even with limited visibility, the eclipse should still be a historic experience that we can't wait to share with you!"
Copperfish Books, Punta Gorda, Fla.: "The crew here at Copperfish want to give you a gentle reminder not to let the eclipse overshadow your reading!"

Split Rock Books, Cold Spring, N.Y.: "Today's the day!... We have one copy of each of these books left--purchase either one to get a free pair of eclipse glasses with them! With thanks to our friends at @bookmoonbooks for having the perfect shirt for the occasion."
Bear Pond Books, Montpelier, Vt.: "Really exciting stuff this week in Montpelier, VT: a total solar eclipse and a tortoise wearing glasses! Which one is cooler? It's really hard to say!"
