In an interview recorded at RWA, Bea and Leah Koch from The Ripped Bodice bookstore in LA look back on their work together after a little over a year, and as Booksellers of the Year award recipients. We talk about creative projects, as there are art installations in the bookstore that are truly stunning, and how they decide which projects to tackle. We talk about their flying books project, and people’s reactions - and how the art in the store helps welcome visitors to the store. We also discuss the reality of being a small business owner, and how much to share of the tough parts of being business women along with the public joys of being bookstore owners. managing anxiety, and yes, lots of talk about Fitzwilliam Waffles. We have such a great time talking that we talk about everything - but we also meander. I almost titled this, “Wait, What Were We Talking About Again?” ALSO!
