We know of several people who make long journeys to Wichita to visit Eighth Day Books, and many others say they’d like to, but we’ve never seriously considered putting a tour package together.  But apparently we’re falling behind the curve.  Check out this site about bookstore tourism and read about a movement afoot to promote independent bookstores as travel destinations.  If you do make the trip, and after you’ve tired your eyes with reading, we’ll ensure you see Wichita’s other unique attractions.

Thanks for the plug!  I’d love to know if folks in your community or elsewhere are planning bookstore road trips of their own.  Please let me know so I can post them on my website and blog.  It’s a growing grassroots effort, and it’s all about raising the profile of indie bookstores and “enabling” book addicts. 

Cheers!
