Ron Cozzi is a darn nice guy who seems to be almost everywhere and who is currently bucking the Internet trend by creating a large bookshop complete with café. While many of his colleagues are tucked away at home listing books, Rob is a people person who can be found at many east coast shows and who has invested in creating a wonderful book environment for the city of Buffalo. I encourage any and all passing through that part of the country to stop by to say hello. It will be well worth the time and effort, even if it's to get one of Ron's friendly greetings.
