'A Good Bookstore Is Essential for a City'

"It was not a business, it never is a business, although we observe some business practices, like paying our taxes and rent. It's more living a good life and healing people who come to the store by giving them good stuff. I just had the utmost faith a good bookstore is essential for a city."

--Emöke B'Rácz, founder of Malaprop's Bookstore, Asheville, N.C., in a Blue Ridge Public Radio interview
