"People are asking themselves what they want to be when this is all over. What do we value? This community has said they want a bookstore to be here. And we've kept putting books in their hands. For you to select a book, you need to know something about yourself or the person you're buying it for. It's an important, thoughtful, personal decision. And it can't happen online in the way it happens in a bookstore. The magic of the bookstore is discovery."
