"We have talked about opening a bookstore for 25 years," Clark noted. While they have no prior experience in bookselling, the Buckmasters were the owners of a small coffee shop in Louisville, Ky., for many years and both are lifelong readers Clark prefers fiction and Susan prefers nonfiction.
Located in the historic Sunshine Ballard Cottage in Berea, the store also carries branded coffee mugs and t-shirts, and the Buckmasters plan to commission local artists for new T-shirt designs over the next few months. "We really want to be an outlet for local and regional authors, give them a forum and dedicated space." "They usually don't have the big publishing houses behind them," Clark Buckmaster said. Owners Clark and Susan Buckmaster carry roughly 1,300 titles for children, teens and adults, with a strong emphasis on books by local authors and authors from throughout Appalachia. The Taleless Dog Booksellers, an all-ages bookstore selling new titles, has opened in Berea, Ky., the Richmond Register reported.
