CO-OP BOOKSTORE IN THE NEWS: My old friend Dick Lechman and his Grandfather Cooperative Bookstore in Old Town Arvada, Colo., were featured in a recent article in Mile High News. Dick has contributed many books for prizes in my e-mail newsletter’s litquiz the past three years. And still his little store is bursting at the seams with 28,000 volumes. The bookstore went co-op in 1998. Volunteers can work in the store and earn free books. Memberships also are available. Dick is a fine writer, possibly the only one I know who can mine metaphors for baseball and The Psalms in one poem.
