One of the things we do when travelling is seek out local bookstores. Over the years I've written a number of pieces on this blog about such establishments in Alabama, past and present, or their ephemera such as bookmarks. Here's a list of ones I've done so far.
Alabama Photos of the Day: Two Auburn Bookstores in 1950
Birmingham Photo of the Day (80): Paris Bookstall Protest in 1971
Deb's Bookstore in Cullman [now Camelot Books & Comics]
