If you were in North Chattanooga on the day before Thanksgiving, you might have spotted Leslie Jordan - actor, comedian and Chattanooga’s own - signing copies of his book at the newest independent bookstore in town.

That bookstore on 1310 Hanover Street is called The Book & Cover - and a few weeks ago, I spoke with its three owners - all former classmates at GPS: Emily Lilley, Sarah Jackson and Blaes Greene.
