If you are an antique lover as well as book-a-holic, I recommend Sow’s Ear Books and Antiques in Berryville, AR, an historic small town with a huge courthouse square restoration project going on. (It’s just a few miles from Eureka Springs and the Holiday Island retirement community. Small, with more-than-savy and literate owners Susan and Dan Krotz. Signings there are well supported by both the store and the community. www.EurekaSpringsantiques.com

AND, Arkansas’ new (and first) mystery bookstore, Sleuths Mystery Bookseller, 2915 W. Markham, in Little Rock, where the snack buffet at signings is “to die for.” www.sleuthsmysterybookseller.com

Also recommended: Words/Afterwords with a coffee house attached in Hardy, AR near Cherokee Village retirement community. www.wordsafterwords.com

That’s Mystery Lovers Bookshop in Oakmont, PA–right outside of Pittsburgh.

Otherwise, it is a great article.

Thanks, mary alice
