I'd like to take a minute to remember a friend I lost recently. The world, and the world of books, lost one of the true good guys. Joe Drabyak was an inspiration and a wonderful person. I worked with him for many years, and he meant so much to so many people. Joe was a "bookseller extraordinaire" at the Chester County Book & Music Company in West ( Read more... )

Michelle sorry for your loss, along with his family, friends and the reading community. It sounds like he inspired you, and that he was a wonderful man.

Michelle, I didn't realize who he was til I looked at his picture. When I used to go to chester county he was always such an awesome help! He will be missed terribly.

Beautifully written, Michelle. You do him proud each and every day at the store. *hugs*

Thank you, everyone. I've been crying pretty much non-stop for the past few days. I need to pull myself back together. I don't think Joe would like to see anyone sad. The best thing I can do is go out there and sell a whole lot of books! There's a big event coming up that I can make the best and most fun EVER (Cassie Clare signing), so I will do it in his honor.
