In the absence of an independent bookstore in Columbus, the convention and visitors' bureau has expanding the gift shop within one room of the old rectory, the house in which the great Mississippi playwright spent his early years. So, bonus!, you can tour the house, see nifty antiques and purchase books by and about not only Williams but also Faulkner, Welty, and Mississippi classics such as Juke Joint by Columbus's own Birney Imes.
