I represent a rural state and live in a small town. Small merchants make up the majority of Vermont's small businesses and thread our state together.

Also, if nothing else, writing this book has really changed the way I experience bookstores. I have a whole different appreciation for the amount of work packed into even the slimmest volume on the shelves. ↗
