booknerdia's Favorite book displays
(We are always adding to this page--scroll to the end for the latest additions).
Not all bookstores are created equally! Some merely stick books on the shelves by author in the correct genre section. Others creatively display selections to grab your attention and make the products irresistible. Every time we visit one of our local bookstores, we take more tantalizing photos to showcase bookstore displays done right!
Does your local bookstore boast an awesome display you would like featured on this page? Snap a picture next time you're browsing and email it to booknerdians@gmail.com. If approve, we will post it here! Just make sure your photo is an original you have taken. ​​​​​​
