City Lights Bookstore in North Carolina


City Lights in Sylva, North Carolina
We've just added City Lights Bookstore of Sylva, North Carolina (map) to our local bookstore program.

City Lights is a great illustration of what we're trying to do—help local, mostly (but not necessary) independent bookstores and the LibraryThing members who love them. City Lights describes Sylva as:
... a small Main Street town nestled between the Great Smokies and the Balsams, two mountain ranges in the highest part of the southern Appalachians. Our goal is to share the literature of the Appalachian region with the world and the world of good books with our community.
If you're in the area, go ahead and edit your profile to have availability and pricing information shown on all work pages.

Thanks to Chris Wilcox of City Lights for finding out about us and sending us a data file out of the blue. (We like it when the data comes to us! )

For more information on our bookstore program check out Thingology for the XML format. We are also now accepting standard Booksense data feeds, a simple tab-delimited format booksellers upload to Booksense.

..."help local, mostly (but not necessary) independent bookstores"...
I think you mean "necessarily" there. Independent bookstores are most definitely necessary! :)

This is a great little bookstore nestled close to one of my favorite places in the world. Nice to see them on LT!

re: necessary vs. necessarily. Nice catch. Anyway, it should modify "small" as much as anything. I'd love to get Powells or the World Largest Bookstore in. Changing in a second.

re: Good. I'm glad you know it. In this case, the owners approached me, not apparently having been asked by a user. I don't know if any big-time LT users are patrons...

Thanks. It's all set now. Kudos to John, our new employee who isn't a syadmin but plays one on TV.

Do you mean the World's Biggest Bookstore? I would love to see that on LT, since it's one of the bookstores I go to frequently and I assume it would come along with the rest of the Chapters and Indigo locations (It's not independent, I'm afraid).

Golly. I have no idea. A crank? Deleting.

Well, I know that a number of the staff at Powell's are on or aware of LibraryThing, and like it, so it might be easier to get them hooked up than it looks. :)

The Valensole case is considered one of the classic UFO reports. Investigations by official and civilian agencies confirmed Masse's sincerity and good character. Laboratory study of the affected soil and plants confirmed the occurrence of an unusual event. Subsequently, Masse confided that in the course of the encounter he experienced some sort of communication with the entities.
