Readers’ Favorite Texas Bookstores, 2017
Vote for your favorite Texas Bookstore during May 2017
Texas booksellers, share this link with your readers and fans — and ask them to vote during May 2017! (There’s also a pdf poster you can place in your own store.)
Did you know Texas has nearly 300 indie, chain, and used bookstores? (The entire list appears below, by city, along with URLs for store websites; if you know of a bookstore we haven’t listed, email and let us know!) Even though our state lost a few bookstores in 2016, we gained a few more. And which ones, whether brand-new or long-standing, are readers’ top picks?
We’ll do 3 rounds of voting to find out. Spread the word, and ask your readers to vote as often as they like.
Your readers have through midnight Sat., May 13, 2017, to vote in Round 1. Bookstores receiving at least one vote will move on to Round 2 (through May 26), and then we’ll have a final round (through May 31) Click the ballot below, or email us at info@LoneStarLiterary.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
