Don't ignore local booksellers
I enjoyed the interview of Jack W. Mitchell, NPR's first employee [8/26/05]. His book does sound interesting. I was, however, a bit annoyed with his numerous (at least three) references to Amazon as the only place to obtain this title. Nothing beats shopping in a real bookstore such as Dayton"s Books and Company, Borders or Barnes and Noble.I have found these can quickly obtain almost any title in print. Then when the book arrives I have the pleasure of speinding time in the store seeing and touching real books. These local shops need our support or someday they will be gone. I really would have expected Mr. Mitchell with his non-commercial backgoround or the host to have said, "order through Amazon or your favorite local bookseller."
