Like most of the stores I've visited, Broadside Books is another bookstore I wish I had more time to wander through. They have a great selection and the gentleman behind the counter was great, explaining the history behind the picture book I bought, A Home Run for Bunny* by Richard Anderson. I also picked up another memoir, The Bill From My Father by Bernard Cooper
Broadside Books can be found on the web at: http://www.broadsidebooks.com/
*The reason I picked up the book was twofold: my mother's nickname was Bunny and I love baseball; the story is based on the true story of the 1934 American Legion baseball team from Springfield MA whose star player, Bunny Taliaferro, was African American; it chronicles the prejudice the team incurred when they traveled to a regional tournament in North Carolina.
