Bio
Carla Cohen
Carla Cohen is co-owner of Politics & Prose Bookstore.
Carla Cohen and Barbara Meade began in a small store at 5010 Connecticut in the autumn of 1984, by themselves and a part-time employee who worked at night. Before a year was up, there were two full-time employees. By 1988-89 there were a half-dozen and the store was bursting.
They moved across the street to 5015 in the summer of 1989, and since then we have grown at intervals of every three years. They now occupy 10,000 square feet of sales space, and close to 13,000 feet, including offices and café. They have a staff of 50-55 full-time employees.

This looks like a great book! #62: Knowing what's best for poor people has to be the best expressed opinion about white people's fascination with poor people. I'm going to cite this speech in my own blog. Thank you Christian!
Well Chris, from a fellow Canadian, "Props" my Man! I was beginning to wonder if all Canadians with a sense of humour had left this lovely country: Mike Meyers, Jim Carrey, you! We need more of ya back home!
I appreciated your honesty in giving feedback on the critical responses to your blog and I applaud you for standing your ground and showing the world that us "crackers" can look at ourselves objectively and laugh at our idiosyncracies!
Lovely concept, excellent website and outstanding book that had me hooting with laughter! You go, Dude!
