Two Sides to the Story

On Ted’s trip to Harrisonburg, Virginia he interviewed Amanda Friss, owner of Parentheses Books. If you listened to Episode 68 when Lory and Ted interviewed Evan Friss on his book, The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore, you might remember Amanda and Parentheses coming up. Lory and Ted talk about the interview, Parentheses, and some other Shenandoah Valley stops.

At the Annapolis Book Festival, Lory and Ted interview Evan Friss on his book, The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore. We also talk about his wife’s bookshop, Parentheses, in Harrisonburg, Virginia, why bookstores are weird, and life in the Shenandoah Valley. If you are a bookshop lover, and if you listen to Two Sides, it seems likely you are, you won’t want to miss this episode.
