We've been marveling at how owning the book shop has expanded the circle of folks we interact with, and Maile talks about how much she needed that. We also talk about the nature of compensation...are there things you do or would do simply for the love of it, receiving no money in exchange for your time? If Maile isn't making money at the shop, why in the world does she spend so much time there?
Also, Shawn meets a monk in the shop and Sean Dietrich (aka Sean of the South) came to Nooks
