Rather than disparage the retail website, the bookstore’s tweet aficionado simply suggested that Serrano remind his large fan base that indie bookstores could use a little support, too.

Serrano answered the call. He tweeted to his 100,000+ followers to order his book from Carmichael’s, complete with link to the store.
