Celebrating 40 Years of Bookselling with Nan and Dani from Best of Books

Welcome to Chapter 64 of the Okie Bookcast! It’s a huge week for us as we celebrate our third anniversary! All I can say is thank you - I appreciate you more than you know, now onward to year four! Speaking of anniversaries, my guests for this episode are from Best of Books, an independent bookstore in Edmond that is celebrating its 40th anniversary this week! I’m joined by Nan Hight and Dani Terrell to talk about the store, their huge anniversary celebration on October 10, and the incredible relationship the store has developed with authors through the years.  Nan is a former educator who, along with her husband Joe and daughter Elena, has owned Best of Books since 2014.  Dani is also a former educator who joined Best of Books two years ago and works on events and social media for the store.  Enjoy our conversation as we celebrate 40 years of this fantastic Oklahoma bookstore!
