Hearts and Minds is a fabulous little, but jam packed, bookstore in Dallastown, Pennsylvania. The owner Bryon Borger and his wife, Beth, are wonderful friends and provide lots of encouragement to me and the ministry of Vertical Creativity. I'm lucky, because I live within walking distance of their store. The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating and the environment is much like a home library, warm and inviting. Bryon is on top of the late breaking news in the world of books ~ no matter what you are looking for, he can find it for you and probably give you a complete book review. Speaking of book reviews - check out their site and sign up for the weekly "Booknotes" email. Great in depth reviews, insights and comparisons.
For you art minded readers of VC, check out Byron's blog about selling books at the IAM Conference. He shares personal experiences of meeting significant people while there and covers a great deal of fabulous books on the subject that's near and dear to my heart - arts, creativity, and spirituality. I believe I have every book he has listed which is why it's somewhat dangerous living so close to Hearts and Minds. I was just there on Friday, in fact, and picked up a few more books (of course). The interesting part was I went in spefically to pick up a special order that had arrived, the icon by Russian iconographer, Andrew Rublev, "the Holy Trinity." Hearts and Minds is the greatest little bookstore, ever. Thanks Bryon and Beth for your dedicated ministry of providing a variety of awesome books plus so much more. As Bryon would say, it's important to keep "Reading for the Kingdom." I agree.
Grace & peace ~ deAnn

I totally agree with you. Byron and Beth are the best! Browsing at Hearts and Minds turns up all kinds of special finds. I've gone in there to get books for group study and they're always on top of things, often having my order earlier than expected! Thanks, deAnn for mentioning them and thanks to Byron and Beth for a delightful store experience.
