Welcome to Booklyn. Seriously.

I stopped and chatted this morning with Vic Fortezza, who was hawking his self-published novel—Close to the Edge—out on the sidewalk, just up the street from the Barnes & Noble in Park Slope. After assuring him that I was not easily offended, he sold me a copy and signed it. He also noted that it was the 250th copy he’s unloaded (all-time, not just today), which I’m pretty sure makes it a bigger hit than the last book I was in.
