		<description>Congratulations Jessica!

Hopefully you are already planning to open many more bookstores - this business presents an unbelievable future for all of us if it can enlist more people with your type of &quot;far outside the box&quot; entrepeneurial thinking.

It is refreshing to see someone blatantly ignore all the doom and gloom and just go for it! Hopefully your methods will be adopted by more people and it begins a revival of the neighborhood brick and mortar stores. 

Enlisting their help and rallying the community around a bookstore is common sense so if you focus on their needs it should assure your long term success. Brilliant! And yet, it is not something that would occur to many business people.

Thanks for the inspiration and the new ideas!</description>
