The debut poetry collection by Columbus native Thomas Richardson, How to Read “is a welcome contribution to the historic and ongoing canon of writers and artists in Mississippi” (the Clarion-Ledger).
Our very own book! Written by Friendly City Books’ founder Emily Liner, this book gives families a glimpse inside of the life of our bookstore beagle Scarlet.
