Episode 36: The Bookworm, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
•
Matt Browning
This week, we visit Cortney Hornyak, owner of The Bookworm, a used bookshop in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In addition to a vast inventory of over 20,000 books, Cortney's shop offers beautiful handmade literary lamps and other awesome items. (Check out our Insta to see the one Matt brought home.) We talk about what it was like to open a shop without any prior experience, being a bookseller in a tourist town, and weathering the pandemic.
