While living out of his car during the pandemic, an Amazon-loving author traveled to bookshops around the country with a simple question: why should people shop at an indie bookstore? The answers make him rethink his Amazon allegiance.

"The Bookstour" is a 30-minute documentary film. From now until 7/7, all the money they raise with digital rentals and tickets to the virtual premier will go straight to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
