I live a little ways down the street from Iverson Mall in PG County which has a Karibu and I make an extra effort to go there for my booking needs first. This store (and the others I have been to) is so great on customer attention and they (the owners and the staff) really support authors. If they like you as an author (or artist) they will try to push your merchandise in a friendly non-pushy way. It's great - and as a customer I feel that they care about me and you just don't get a lot of that kind of service in today's rush and go world. Also they are big on giving back and supporting the community. Just my two cents - and my reasons for going out of my way to support this store when the local borders is closer.
