DreamHaven Update

Related to Kelly's post a little ways down the page.

I just stopped at DreamHaven on the way home, and Elizabeth said people have been just wonderful. She waved an inch-thick sheaf of web-orders at me to show me just how. She just ordered more books, but has to order again tomorrow because of all the new orders. Her eyeballs were about to fall out of her head. She said she might have to tell people to go spend their money at other independent businesses just so she would be hogging their support. I placed an order for books anyway.

You can too. Sign up for their email catalog while you're there.

The thieves apparently, according to Elizabeth, (paraphrased here, as I lack a phonographic memory) "broke into the office of the store looking for cash--you know, the big piles of cash that all independent bookstores have on hand during February? When the post-Christmas doldrums are sitting heavily on people's bank accounts? That cash." They did not, however, stop to take the three dollars fifty in the Feline Rescue donation box on the front counter, which says that either three-fifty wasn't sufficient to their needs, or that they are cat people--not sure how I feel about that last.
