Rock Toews had a very successful online bookselling operation in
Eastport for years. And then, in the midst of a recession, he
thought it'd be a great idea to open a retail store! So he
did! And has never looked back. We thought this seemed a
little backward, so we talked about it.
We talked about the move from online to storefront. Some of the
things that Annapolis does really well for local businesses. Some
things that need work. We talked about the need for businesses
coming together to operate more like a mall (yes a mall), and why
events like the Santa Speedo Run are absolutely horrible for retail
(and he makes a great point).
But if you need a book, check out the inventory at Back Creek Books
at 194 Main Street. It's heavy on history, local interest, and
Lincoln. Well worth the browse!
