In the corner of St. Croix Antiquarian Booksellers, over by the color-coded antique maps, is a framed edict that's actually more of a poem:
"I, Richard Booth
King of Hay
Lord of all booktowns
& their protector in perpetuity
hereby declare that
Stillwater Minnesota
Is the first booktown
In the western hemisphere.
Let no one gainsay
Or dare to dispute
This is my official decree."
