YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Bob Manson is a retired teacher from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He’s also a superfan of independent bookstores. So much so that he has now visited over 600 of them across the country. At each one, he talks with the owners and some regulars and then writes about what makes that particular bookstore special in his ongoing blog, The Indie Bob Spot. While he wasn’t named as anyone’s running mate on the presidential ticket, Bob’s story of a small-town regular guy who took a passion and made it his own, is now inspiring book lovers and readers all over America. Bob Manson joins us on The Excerpt to discuss his travels and why he finds independent bookstores so captivating.
