Barnes & Noble, Greensboro NC, coffee shop, wireless access, book signing

Barnes & Noble is my favorite big box bookstore. They have a great selection of books, a coffee shop sitting area and wireless access. However, the wireless access is not free. This is a message from me and other long time customers. What were you thinking!! You can go most anywhere in Greensboro or anywhere else in the state of North Carolina and get free wireless access. To not provide this is to insult your customers. Ok, I made my point.

Barnes & Noble hosts many book signings and the store in Friendly Center in Greensboro NC is hosting a book signing for NC artist and author Susan Barringer Wells (aka Susan Vaughan Wells), Friday, February 15, 2008 at 7:00 PM. Susan has written a new book, “A Game Called Salisbury”, about the murder of the Lyerly Family in Salisbury NC over 100 years ago. Susan also explores and reveals attitudes on race in NC and the US. Sales of the book have exceeded expectations and Susan has held numerous book signings in NC.

    I’m from Greensboro and loved reading about Susan Barringer Wells book — I’m going to go out and get it tomorrow — I hope the Nashville bookstores are well-stocked with them (because that’s where I live now). Every time I go home I go to the Barnes & Noble at Friendly Center because I just simply love it. Susan Gregg Gilmore, a Nashville author of Looking For Salvation at the Dairy Queen, is going to be doing a book signing in the evening of March 5 and I’m going to come with her. It’s a great book, especially for those of us who love the South, and I can’t wait to share Greensboro with her!

    Thanks for blogging about this book — it sounds like a real page turner in the vein of Bitter Blood, a true crime story based in Greensboro.
