Episode 36: Danny Caine — Author and Owner of the Raven Book Store - a podcast by Hybrid Pub Scout Podcast

Bookselling is an inherently political profession, and few people know that better than Danny Caine, owner of the Raven Bookstore in Lawrence, Kansas, and author of one of our favorite reads, How to Resist Amazon and Why. We talked politics, poetry, and bookstore cats; the Raven has two—Dashiell and Ngaio, the store’s undisputed social media stars. When Caine’s tweetstorm about how Amazon’s pricing screws indie bookstores went viral, he started playing closer attention to the store’s social media, and realized that it could be used in service of politics as well as adorable cats. Since being picked up for distribution by local Portland publisher Microcosm, How to Resist Amazon and Why has sold more than 5,000 copies, even though Amazon has quit selling it after Caine criticized them in an article in the NYT.
