Emma Stitt and Kenda Honeycutt, recent Elon University graduates, have embarked on a "big bookstore adventure--a two-year road trip to apprentice with independent booksellers across the country," as Bookselling This Week put it.
The first stop for the future bookstore owners, for three months this summer: DeeGee's Gifts & Books, Morehead City, N.C., whose owner Cathy Stanley said, "It's been excellent to have them here." Now they're off for a three-and-a-half month stint at Quail Ridge Books & Music, Raleigh, N.C.
In four years, BTW wrote, Stitt and Honeycutt want to open a store "in the mountains of Oregon with a distant view of the ocean," selling fiction and literary nonfiction, some used books, with a cafe and wine and beer bar and a wrap-around porch, creating "a space where people can come and be there for hours."
