Jeff O'NeillHOST
I don't know that it's anybody's local bookstore.

There's a McNally Jackson other place in the city that maybe locals do go to.

The story begins a while ago in 1855.

No, but the story begins with, we have been doing a book club with McNally Jackson, bless.
Mabel TaylorHOST
And our book of the month was The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte, which was originally published in 1848.
