[FM Discuss] FM PR about Bookstore

[Emma Jane Hogbin]

I thought you were only allowed to have one story per media release? :)
If it's the embeddedness of the bookshop that should be up at the top.
If it's the freeness I'd stick to that and issue a second media release
in a month's time to highlight exactly that...

regards,
emma
