Today is the one year anniversary of the grand opening of Bright Leaf Books. In February 2016, I was living in Chicago when I had an idea to open a used bookstore. Naturally, I started by buying a book about how to open a used bookstore. I was sold and moved to Winston-Salem in July. In February and March 2017, I moved into our current space and started getting ready. We had our soft opening on March 25 and officially opened two weeks later on April 7, 2017. It has been a privilege to work with books and readers everyday for the past year. I am grateful to all my customers and look forward to working and reading with you over the years to come. Thank you. -Sam
