Malvern Books, which will open soon in Austin, Tex., plans to "specialize in visionary literature and poetry from independent publishers, with a focus on lesser-known and emerging voices the world needs to hear," the shop's website noted. 
The bookstore's journey to opening is currently being chronicled on Malvern's blog, Facebook page and Twitter account.
This week Small Press Distribution announced on its own Facebook page that it was shipping "the largest single order to an indy bookstore SPD has EVER done. If you live near Austin, TX you've lucked out: make a date to visit the very new Malvern Books. They have ordered multiples of so, so many of our very best presses. Malvern is going to be the best little SPD in Texas."
Malvern Books is located at 613 West 29th Street, Austin, Tex. 78705; 512-322-2097; info@malvernbooks.com.
