I'm working on a book about the history of bookstores in Tompkins County and came across your article for the LA Review of Books in 2013, on the Dream of a Common Bookstore. You refer to Smedley's (where I worked for a couple of years when Zee first opened the store) in the article, and I'd like to know if I could quote a little bit from the article. I can send you more info if you're willing. Thank you, Sharon Sharon K.
