Within the last year, three independent Vermont bookstores have benefited from the largesse of author James Patterson, who in 2013 pledged $1 million in gifts to indie booksellers. This week, Montpelier's Bear Pond Books became the fourth Vermont bookstore to receive a Patterson grant, joining Phoenix Books of Burlington and Essex, Norwich Bookstore in Norwich and Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center.
