Long-term relationship with an outstanding bookstore I first…read morevisited Snowbound Books in 2024 when a local, with whom I went to law school, recommended the shop. I'm in D.C., my colleague is in Grand Rapids, and mutual friends have a lovely place in the U.P. We stopped and shopped, then I went back to D.C. with a suitcase full of books. I was hooked . . . from this point forward this was my go-to bookstore. I ordered a Christmas-list full of books, and the crew at Snowbound responded with class. Since that visit, I've made a point to support this, my new local bookstore, throughout the year, both with hardcovers and audiobooks. Snowbound linked up its business venture with the audiobook marketer Libro.fm, which collaborates with local bookstores to offer a seamless alternatives for audiobooks, doing an end-run around platforms that historically have minimized or shut out local bookstores. Libro.fm shares its profits with these local bookstores, and offers great deals with titles in their massive library. Recently, I researched the Snowbound catalog and received 14 books (see the photo). During the same period I purchased, at retail in some cases and with a deep discount in other cases, about 15 audiobooks, which I devoured upon arrival. This may reflect idealistic tendencies, but I would much rather support local booksellers, and audiobook platforms that share their profits with booksellers. Libro.fm meets this requirement for the audiobooks, and Snowbound meets it for new hardcovers. We're lucky to have both, as alternative to platforms that lack any connection with the local markets being served.

On Saturday, October 12, 2025. a friend and I drove approximately 20 miles from Iron Mountain to…read moreVulcan to attend an Estate Sale run by Birdcage Antiques. We were running late, arriving within the last hour. My friend wanted to buy a sofa which was priced at $200.00. Having only $130.00 with her, she offered that amount. The woman running the sale said that she didn't think she could let it go for that price without getting into trouble. Mind you that the next day, Sunday, everything would be 50% off. A man accompanying the saleslady said that there were several people interested in the sofa and that if she really wanted it, she'd better get there early the next day. Sunday morning my friend arrived before 10:00 waiting with other buyers for the sale to begin. To her dismay she saw the sofa along with a matching loveseat already loaded onto a trailer. She went in to inquire how the sofa could already be sold as the sale hadn't even started. The saleslady fiendishly grins saying, "I bought it!" as though she had gotten one over on my friend. No wonder she wouldn't accept her offer of $130.00 - the saleslady wanted it! So much for the statement "she didn't think she could let it go for that price without getting into trouble" being deceit #1. Her sales partner saying "that there were several people interested in the sofa" deceit #2. Why hadn't the woman and man running the Estate Sale either place a "SOLD" tag on the sofa? Or why hadn't they been honest, saying on Saturday that they planned to purchase the sofa. It would have saved her the Sunday morning 40-mile round trip. I don't like when people use guile in their business dealings. In fact, I don't like when anyone uses guile in any situation. This behavior is what causes societal untrust. Neither one of us will ever attend another Birdcage Antiques Estate Sale nor will we ever frequent their store while visiting the Marquette area. We admonish everyone to do the same. The phrase, "buyer beware" certainly reared its ugly head. This experience has been shared exactly as it happened without any exaggeration or falsehood contained within. Shame on you Birdcage Antiques, you know better, but did not.
