The Tiny Bookstore, described by Tony Norman in the Post-Gazette as “an appropriately named bookstore tucked among much larger businesses at the Pines Plaza shopping strip in Ross” is one by attorney Lea Bickerton, whose practice focuses on criminal defense appeals and post-conviction work. Ms. Bickerton curates the books in her store herself, carrying only those books she is passionate about. Normal quotes Bickerton: “The mission of the Tiny Bookstore is to share my love of reading with the public and to be a source of knowledge. So, it’s fair to say that my mission is grand, but the planned footprint is not.”
