The Small-Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses Are Beating the Global Competition (Easyread Large Edition)
Used - This is a badly needed book. I say that for several reasons. The first, and most obvious, is that almost anyone who has taken the time to study the situation now knows what a death star the big box on the edge of town is.

These businesses stimulate the economy by buying supplies and services ""locally,"" and stick around for many years.
