Back before my book was published we ran several caption contests, usually involving adorable foster kittens from the bookstore. It was fun, and it got people interested in the book and our shop, so the work was win-win.

But now I feel that one more caption contest must be held, because… well, just look at this.

Yeah. So that’s why a contest must be held. This might be my favorite bookstore photo ever. Should you want to use them, names are (from the left) Jack, Elizabeth, Heather, Elissa and (seated) Rachael. I think that’s enough for you to work with. The contest will close Nov. 30, and the winner gets a signed copy of The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap–now also available in large print, so please specify.

Put your caption in the comments section below, and PLEASE be sure we have a way to contact you. We still can’t find “Sal” who won one of the earlier contests. Have fun!
