How to Get Sued (on Cape Cod)
It’s hard to leave my work at the office . . .
I spent July 4th on Cape Cod visiting my in-laws. My wife and I took one afternoon off from kids, fireworks and hot dogs to take a quiet walk around the quaint town of Oysterville, where we stumbled into a bookstore and I ran smack into J. Craig Williams’ new book, How to Get Sued. This is a tiny bookstore in a tiny town and there was Craig’s book front and center as you walk in:
I asked the proprietor why they had a copy. Apparently one of their regular customers was on a flight sitting next to a man who was almost in tears laughing while reading How to Get Sued. The man placed a special order and they picked up an additional copy.
Craig - I can’t remember the name of the place and I can’t find them online, but there are only about 8 stores in Oysterville and the proprietor was extremely excited that I knew you. “Would he do a book signing?”. . . So if you are ever on the Cape (and I think you are occasionally) a trip in to the tiny bookstore in Oysterville could be fun.

Conrad,
Thanks for the photo and comments - I’ll be back in Cape Cod this September, and will certainly stop by and do a book signing in old Oysterville (now shortened to Osterville). I’m from the area, and if I remember correctly, the bookstore’s name is “By The Sea.”

Craig: You are correct on both the spelling of Osterville and the name of the store: Books by the Sea.
I found this online:
