Bookstore tourism

A hearty librarians' salute to Larry A. Portzline. Larry, an erstwhile community college writing instructor in Pennsylvania, now organizes tours of independent bookstores for area bibliophiles.

Larry has self-published a how-to guide called Bookstore Tourism: The Book Addict's Guide to Planning & Promoting Bookstore Road Trips for Bibliophiles and Other Bookshop Junkies. According to Larry, "These people are crazy about bookstores." You can also check out Larry's bookstore-tourism blog on his Web site (http://www.bookstoretourism.com).

Maybe we can interest him in Auntie's . . . . –GS
