Books: Stories
From Here & There (5#) -

"Stories have to be
told and read and written.
That's how we make sense of the world."

Mitchell Kaplan, owner of the local indy bookstore Books & Books, is venturing into the small press publishing field.

Somewhat along the lines of Johnny Temple's Akashic venture, which produces the famed Noir series of regional Mystery story collections, Kaplan is producing a collection of local SoFlo-based stories compiled and edited by John Dufresne called Blue Christmas: Stories for the Rest of Us in an affordable soft cover edition.
