Like Jack Kerouac ... or Willie Nelson

It's time for us to go on the road (again), and this time we're headed to the Northeast to visit family and make some of our old favorites official Get a Spine stops, as well as taking the opportunity to find some new bookstores on our route.

Generally, we head north through Pennsylvania and into Central New York, with the first destination Cooperstown, home of James Fenimore Cooper (and Willis Monie Books). Then it's off across Massachusetts and up into southern Maine, where we'll be exploring bookstores in Portland and along Route 1 between Portland and Kittery, Me.

After that it's back across Massachusetts to the Northampton/Amherst/Easthampton area, where we'll visit some of our favorites like the Northampton DPW book shed and Raven Used Books, as well as making an effort to visit some of the local places we didn't make it to while we lived in that area for just under a year.

If you've got any suggestions of must-visits on our route, please let us know!
