An indie bookstore crawl across Northern Virginia this weekend will hit two Old Town book shops, Patch reported.
The NoVa Indie Bookstore Crawl marks Independent Bookstore Day (April 27).

Collecting four stamps wins the participant a free advance reader copy. Eight stamps earn a tote bag. 10-15 locations get the participant entered into a raffle for the Grand Prize, which includes contributions from every store.
