Part one. To be a bookseller, you have to play detective -- Part two. I could talk about books forever -- Part three. I can't imagine what people do without books in their lives -- Part four. It doesn't matter what you like to read, as long as you love to read -- Part five. Just one more chapter, please, just one more chapter.
To be a bookseller or librarian... You have to play detective. Be a treasure hunter. A matchmaker. An advocate. A visionary. A person who creates "book joy" by pulling a book from a shelf, handing it to someone and saying, "You've got to read this. You're going to love it." Step inside The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians and enter a world where you can feed your curiosities, discover new voices, find whatever you want or require. This place has the magic of rainbows and unicorns, but it's also a business. The book business. Meet the smart and talented people who live between the pages--and who can't wait to help you find your next favorite book. -- Provided by publisher.
