The Book Frog: Life After Borders

Hi there. As part of my continuing quest to show support for bookstores, I thought I'd post about a new indie bookstore that has, in point of fact, risen from the ashes of Borders' destruction. So to speak.

The bookstore is called The Book Frog. As I understand it, the store was founded by a couple of ex-Borders refugees employees. You can find it on Facebook. I like it there. :)

I'm in Maryland and the store is in Harbor City, CA. So I'm pretty much limited to liking it online.

I really do like it, though. Enough to blog about it.

And try to find out some stuff about Harbor City so this post wouldn't be totally boring would be a little bit more lively.

So, I tried to learn something ... anything ... about Harbor City on Google. But all I could find was Chamber of Commerce type stuff. BOH-ring!

Well, I'm way too gimpy lazy busy a blogger to do a lot of work on this, so I turned to Google images. I typed in "Harbor City" and look what I found.

Okay. I think this may actually be a photo of the harbor at Crescent City, CA. But it looked so awesome, I decided, "What the hell. Slap it up there. Maybe they're the same place." Who knows, right?

Then, I found this.

Now, according to Google, this is an actual Harbor City home. So ... if you lived in Harbor City, this could be your home. Or something. Maybe.

But wait! It gets even better. And I swear this actually did come up in my Google images search on Harbor City ...

BTW, did you know that Jennifer Tilly is from Harbor City, CA? That probably explains a lot.

Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day is Dec. 3

In my continuing quest to show support for bookstores, I'd like to point out that December 3 is Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day.

If you have a Web site or blog, please click the link. You can save one or more of the images there and help spread the word about this, too.

Also, if you have kids, please mark that date on your calendar and take them to the bookstore of your choice.

Try to keep in mind that indie bookstores can use the business right now. More than ever.



Yeah, I know. The sound quality stinks. But the message is clear, right?

Mystery Loves Company (Updated)

Last week, I wrote a post about booksellers, in which I suggested bookstores use blogs creatively to sell books and other items in order to compete more effectively with big online retailers.

Well, today I appeared at a SinC event with 18 authors (one couldn't make it) at the Howard County Public Library, East Columbia Branch.

And guess who was selling books? That's right. An indie bookseller, Mystery Loves Company.

Now, Mystery Loves Company used to be located in Baltimore (the city) in the Fells Point section -- you've heard of it, right?



Well, times changed and the store decided the city was too expensive filthy crime-ridden it needed a change of scenery.

So, now it's located here.

Pretty awesome, huh?

PS: The store's blog is called Mystery Salon.

UPDATE: Guess what? I got a comment from Kathy Harig, one of the owners of Mystery Loves Company. She wants to kill me make sure I understand the real reasons her husband and she moved the store.

And the real reason is that they decided to move the store to Oxford when they took up residence on the Eastern Shore in 2005 and it became too difficult to keep two stores open. And that's the real reason, okay? And Kathy doesn't want to kill me at all. :)

And the store in Oxford is doing very well and has gotten great support. Awesome!
