Bookstores and I are like family. My first job was at the SMU bookstore, even before it was at this spiffy location. It used to be in a space where the ceiling was low, the lighting could’ve been better, and there were no windows. However, I was still where I wanted to be. It was fun being surrounded by books, meeting students, and working with very entertaining colleagues. So when the bookstore moved here while I was in college, I naturally followed and worked here too.
