Below is my purchase from the newly opened, new location, of The Raven Bookstore, on Massachusetts street in downtown Lawrence Kansas. I could not miss an opportunity to pet a cat, support a local favorite, and check out the new space. Which is perfect, by the way - you must let me know what you think if you visit.
Ngaio was ensconced in a chair in the front window, tucked out of the way, and we had a nice visit. I began to acquaint myself with the new layout and had to tear myself away from the section labeled "First in a Series", which will be the area I explore on visit #2.
P.S. if you live with a cat, they had kitty bow ties for sale. I wonder if the Harvey boys would each like one?
I definitely need one of these for my very fluffy ginger tom - he would look so dapper! And a new bookshop is always worth a visit (though a long way for me, over in England, maybe). I wholeheartedly approve of supporting a good independent bookseller! Looking forward to book reviews soon.

Sharon: that is what I have heard from other reliable sources as well.
