A really great independent book store. Katy Budget Books treats their guest authors very, very well. They have a large clientele and many of their customers are friendly, charming, and curious. A great mix.

Wonderful people with a great sense of humor and a keen interest in Tolkien's works. I may get to write that essay on Anduril eventually.
