In this episode of Heart of the City, we sit down with Emily, Sarah, and Blaes, the three women behind The Book and Cover. We talk about what it really takes to open and sustain an independent bookstore — from the financial realities and fundraising that made it possible to the intention behind building something small and community-rooted.
The conversation moves through their individual book personas, how they think about human curation in an algorithm-driven world, and why curiosity is at the center of connection, conversation, and belonging. This episode is a look at what can grow when a space invites people to stay curious.
