Mary Gay Shipley plans to retire

Mary Gay Shipley, owner of That Bookstore in Blytheville, has announced plans to retire. She promoted writers like John Grisham and others. Blytheville is a Delta town, so the presence of a quality bookstore there is a rare treat. But if the store closes, it's just another sign of the times for bookstores.
