On April 29, we posed a Bookstore Day challenge to readers in the Twin Cities area. 
  • Visit 5 bookstores and get a Twin Cities indie bookstore poster created by the artist Kevin Cannon
  • Visit 10 bookstores and be entered to win one of 20 prize literary
  • Visit all 18 bookstores and be entered to win one grand prize literary pack

The results are fantastic!
  • 25 people visited all 18 stores
  • 108 people visited at least 10 stores
  • How many people visited at least 5 stores? We don't know this figure for sure, but we can say that 530 posters were given out into the world, so between booksellers and customers, that's a lot of bookstore love!

Thank you!! We will be shipping the prize packs to you within the next week. (For a reminder of what's in the prize packs, visit our website.)

WOW! I never expected being one of the winners! I just love reading and love indie bookstores! So when my wife said let's motor to the Twin Cities for Independent Bookstore day, I was all over it. Thanks to all the stores and booksellers who contributed to the first prize literary pack I will receive. Independent bookstores and booksellers rule!!

Reading is an incredibly good activity for all but i becoming somewhat of a lost art. I love to find those who still enjoy a good book or story!
