Lawrence FerlinghettiDon't patronize the chain bookstores. Every time I see some author scheduled to read and sign his books at a chain bookstore, I feel like telling him he's stabbing the independent bookstores in the back.
About This Quote
When an author reads and signs his books at a chain bookstore, he is, in effect, stabbing the independent bookstores in the back. A chain bookstore is owned and operated by a specific corporation that has little or no interest in promoting or supporting independent bookstores. This results in fewer resources that can be allocated towards marketing and distributing books to more stores.
