Thus far on their presidential summer vacation to Martha's Vineyard, Barack and Michelle Obama have not made their annual indie bookstore pilgrimage. Whether this has anything to do with his controversial appearance recently at an Amazon warehouse is speculation best left to political pundits. Meanwhile, the bookshop watch continues.
The Vineyard Gazette noted that there had been "hints of a bookstore outing" with rain in the forecast yesterday. If and when the Obamas do go book shopping, Susan Mercier, manager of Edgartown Books, "has selected some titles for the whole first family" and the shop's cafe, behind the bookstore, "also has prepared the btbama: an iced coffee with four shots and grapefruit zest, a drink guaranteed to fuel several rounds of golf."
"I wish he would," Mercier told the Boston Globe. "But we haven't seen him."
