New Indie Bookstore on the Block

In the age of Amazon, in a time where it seems that brick and mortar bookstores are teetering on the edge of extinction, a new independent bookstore has emerged in Fort Worth. The bookstore is called The Last Word, and it is at 615 South Jennings Street on the Near South Side. Martina and I visited on Saturday, and we were pleased to learn of their Around the World in Eighty Books book club and see books by both local and world authors.

Martina and I purchased a copy of Aledo native E.R. Bills' Texas Obscurities as well as a copy of Dona Barbara by former Venezuelan president Romulo Gallegos, with a forward by Larry McMurtry. The inventory is impeccably chosen, and we were pleased to see books by authors such as Haruki Murakami and Milan Kundera as well as great titles by local authors and even books from Dallas' Deep Vellum press. If you get the chance, stop by The Last Word.
