Since I expect everyone here buys the occassional book, this slightly self =
serving promo is in the current Olssons email newsletter might be of =
interest:

"Be sure to pick up a copy of the June Washingtonian Magazine and read Ken =
Adelman's "What I've Learned" interview with John Olsson, owner of =
Olsson's Books & Records. Subtitled "How Dupont Circle Readers Differ From =
Arlington, Why It's a Bad Idea to Get Into the Book Business, and the Best =
Read Ever," the interview includes a short history of the store and some =
of the changes we've made in our 31 years. Even we learned something about =
our stores after reading the interview!"

Should be an interesting read; and my how the book biz has changed . . .
