Links to sites that charge me to read a story that you recommend are very frustrating. I assume you’re aware of this but it makes your tie to that story useless to many of us and thus your site less desirable than it could be. My recommendation is either work out a deal with the site or the author so we can read the story or don’t use that story and find something else.
Absolutely love this curation approach. The Alabama Booksmith piece captured how a great proprietor doesnt just sell books, but creates an entire experince around discovery. I've been trying to articulate why certain indie shops feel magnetic, and it's exactly this kind of intentional stewardship over not just product but atmosphere.
