Rollins created a haven for book-lovers  The Kalamazoo Gazette
has a nice Obit for John Rollins, owner of the John W. Rollins
Bookseller store. Rollins, a former history professor who had
worked at Border's Books in Ann Arbor in its pre-mega-chain
days, envisioned a big Border's-inspired store loaded with
titles and staffed by people who had read them. The Kalamazoo
area came to love Rollins' store for its enormous selection and
book-loving staff members who always seemed to have a
recommendation for customers. It quickly became a mecca for
readers, literary events and author book-signings.  Syndicate
