#313 - Beyond Bedtime Books

Over the last few years I've completely fell in love with reading and this week I sit down with the owner of my favorite bookshop in the city Beyond Bedtime Books. - Jamie Grassman started selling rare children's books online way before she had her own shop. She would source books, list them online, and ship them all over the world. When that started to take off, she decided it was time to expand and open up a place of her own! - Beyond Bedtime Books is a used bookstore in the heart of Dormont and a staple to the community. She has been providing people with gently used books for over 15 years and this week, she stops by and tells me all about it! We talk about how she got into reading, the history of the shop, choosing and managing her inventory, our love for Stephen King, and so much more. Hope yinz enjoy the episode as much as I did! - Yinz can SUBSCRIBE & WATCH here! - Become a "friend" on Patreon and support the show
