Your 2012 Diamond Best Practice Retailer Awards Nominees

I don't know anything about these awards, but it's not shocking that they exist -- I figure there are few industry awards like this about which I'm largely clueless. At any rate, the winner will be announced in conjunction with the forthcoming New York Comic-Con and I'm totally enamored of linking to a bunch of comics shops at every opportunity presented to me. Like that first one, "All About Books & Comics" in Phoenix? I like going into that shop when I'm right nearby on the highway. It has a lot of cheap back-issues. Maybe there are other shops with such virtues on this list.
