The Bookies – truly, a bookstore like no other in the heart of Denver, Colorado – prepares for their Zola opening.

Pictured here (left to right) are Larry Yoder, Cae Dornfeld, Jessica DeLoy, and Susan Tracy, who between them have decades of bookselling experience.

While The Bookies’ fan base is strongly committed to the rich store experience The Bookies provides, they have customers who are also sometimes looking for ebooks.  Now, for the first time, fans of The Bookies can purchase those ebooks in a way that directly supports their favorite store.

The curational expertise of these kind of booksellers is at the heart of Zola – we couldn’t do it without them!

Congrats to Lydia Davis for winning the Man Booker International Prize (and for having the best author photo)!
