    I applied beginning of last year via a job finder site. I will get to that in a minute. I…read moreoriginally worked there as my first job straight out of high school. Back in 2000 it was called Golden Books. I was hired through a temp agency. The first day I was there the security guard told me where to go. He said, do you see the letter P? I replied yes and he said I am to go there. That was the only training I got from that place. I felt like a fish out of water and dreaded showing up there. I didn't know what I was doing most of the time cause of no training. I had this paper that you had to fill out after the end of each job. I asked this older guy how to fill it out. Instead of explaining he looks past me to my right and says hey he thinks it's time to leave then laughs. He then just walks away. I took the paper wadded it up and tossed it over my shoulder. This one lady said they should have somebody training him. I asked her for help and she proved to be a hypocrite and didn't help. I ended up quitting after week there. I had a bad experience and will not go back. Now to the current day. Last year I applied via indeed.com a job site. I eventually got a call from some lady that works at Random House. She interviewed me over the phone and said you have to be "fast,fast,fast,and you will be all over the place". Kinda took that as over reaction and a cut. Its a fast paced job like all places. For her to talk to me like that was silly and demeaning. I told her I worked there before back in 2000 and you guys didn't train me. She goes you worked here before? Later on in the call she said the supervisor won't be in till Tuesday and we will call you then about the job, okay? I said sure. Two hours later I got an EMAIL saying they hired somebody else. So they lied to me. If that "supervisor" wasn't there, then how did they make that decision? I think he was there. I never heard of a boss not being there every day. I will not work there due to this. I was lied to and talk to like a child. Referring to the fast fast fast and moving you all over the place. I am not stupid. Bad company!

    My heart, she is a-singing because PRINTtEXT exists. I love magazines, I love the publishing…read moreindustry, and I love small family-run shops, and this place brings all these loves together. Plus, there is a sweet, old dog named Huckleberry who is in the shop most days with the owner, Ben. When we visited, Huckleberry greeted us with wags and kisses, and showed us his new toy. Ben is another one. He is so nice and friendly, and explained to us the layout of his store and where we could find stuff. (He was so genuinely nice and friendly that I remembered his name, which is a big feat for me, as I almost never remember anyone's name!) Ben knew pretty much everything about all of the magazines he carries. He is very knowledgeable about the industry! You can find everything from Cherry Bombe to Kinfolk to Cereal to The Gentlewoman to Dazed to Garage ... so many art and fashion magazines, and food and lifestyle periodicals. My little magazine-loving heart was truly satisfied. They also carried many books and periodicals illustrated and written by local artists, including Things Organized Neatly. Ben seemed really proud of carrying local work -- he made sure to show us which ones were made by people from Indy.

    PRINTtEXT recently opened in SoBro and carries an eclectic mix of periodicals and publications…read more Topics include fashion, design, food, arts, and so forth. As you browse through the materials throughout the shop, you never know what subjects you might come across. And many of the publications are of foreign descent. You can easily immerse yourself in a different world just by flipping through the magazines. I think PRINTtEXT might be on to something here. While there are ebooks, blogs, and various types of online content, it's a different feeling to have a hard copy of a book/magazine that you can physically hold on to. I am curious to know what the future holds for the shop. Perhaps they can leverage it as a place to bring people together and have discussions on anything and everything.

    After parting with the vinyl shop we turn the corner and come across books outside noted FREE... we…read moreimmediately made a b-line over to take a look and see what they had to offer. There were alot of books to choose from. we were all able to find something . After which we went in to take a look around. They had a wonderful selection of childrens books, rare books as well. Its a medium sized spot but they fit a childrens corner in. I was pleased to find vintage Richie Rich and Sugar and Spike comic books for 1.00. This was certainly a wonderful place to stumble upon which had alot of gems inside. The vintage type writers were a really cool touch as well. Everything about this place was inviting and warm. At the cash register I came across an assortment of stickers and if you know me, you know I love stickers..Of course I grabbed a couple to complete my purchase. There is a space right by the door that has a sitting area, the leather chair was so comfortable but it was thw huge leather ottoman for me and the chess set that makes you wanna learn to play, if you do t already no how too. I could spend hours sitting and reading. Finally it was time to go but I will most certainly be back to see what other treasures I can find. Until next time Indy reads!!!

    I have heard of indy reads, but had never had the chance to visit until recently, it is a well…read moreorganized space with an impressive selection of books! The shop embraces a cozy and welcoming feel, and the staff was very friendly! Can't wait to go back, check them out if you are in the area!
