Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

SISKEL & EBERT, which premiered #OTD in 1986, had a master class of an opening sequence.

Thirty-five seconds, 21 shots, and a flawless establishment of the professional rivalry of two Chicago newspapermen who inspired a generation of film buffs. #FilmSky #TVSky

Before buying a “safe” new airplane from an unethical company like Boeing, consider all the retired airplanes sitting in the desert in the hopes of finding a new forever home. Adopt, don’t shop.
