Echoes of Light is modern, with comments about social and Indigenous issues, old and new, splashes of flash fiction and memoirs, a sprinkling of poetry, creative profiles, geological phenomena, historical reveals, and bits of nontraditional people. The intent is to give readers refreshing changes of pace throughout the book and unexpected genres with every turn of the page.

"Echoes of Light celebrates relationships-between light and shadow, curve and line, word and image, each element a surprising echo of its opposite. Joyner's photographs are as technically sumptuous-and exquisitely seen-as they are challenging to the eye, often hovering on the edge of abstraction. In response, Gerkin's witty, wide-ranging, learned, yet warmly engaging texts sprout from the images generosity, weaving word-frames that don't constrain the photos so much as build imaginative worlds around them. "Echoes" is, ultimately, a deeply satisfying word-and-image adventure." - Pamela Petro, author and Photographer

"The images and words click, they build, they dance with one another before moving on to the next partner. The effect is exhilarating." - Robin Hemley, author, educator, traveler

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
