Brenda you're the Best! You were the first one in this town to make me
feel welcome. Books on First wouldn't be the same without you. "A Coffe
Nut" couldn't have said it better. "

I love going into Books On First and seeing Brenda's smiling face. She
has a quick wit and a sarcasm that keeps me coming back. She makes my
morning cup of coffee that much more enjoyable. It was nice to read
about you in the Telegraph. I really enjoy this column and reading
about our local businesspeople. "
