I took a photo which I think might be of interest to my alma mater as a poster or framed picture. Having spent many hours (and dollars) shopping there, they always try to have interesting views of campus available for purchase.

What is the best way to contact them?

Tom,

I've never approached a book store but I've gone to antique stores, card shops, spas, and I've always gone directly to the top. The advice I received a long time ago was to make an appointment with the owner/manager and then go with your photo samples.

Obviously it also helps if you have an entree--someone who knows the owner or the manager.

Good luck,

Carol Hyman
