For 40 years, Chamblin's Books has been gracious to countless writers, artists, musicians, and of course, its customers, loyal or new. Today, Chamblin's, in its multiple locations, is the largest independent bookstore in the Southeast. In We Are All Used Books: 70 Conversations with Ron Chamblin, you'll read of: 1. a naked bookseller aiming his shotgun at a burglar, 2. airplanes built in back of bookstores, 3. strange pagan rituals in California mountains, 4. finding moonshine stills and trapping a vulture, 5. a childhood house afloat on a sea of liquor bottles, 6. and Marge the Manatee. Tim Gilmore is the author of 13 books including Devil in the Baptist Church: Bob Gray's Unholy Trinity, Central Georgia Schizophrenia, The Mad Atlas of Virginia King, In Search of Eartha White, The Ocean Highway at Night, and Stalking Ottis Toole: A Southern Gothic.
