Instant New York Times Bestseller! This “celebration of the world of books” is filled with “heartfelt testimonials” that feels like a love letter to booksellers and librarians—as told to the greatest storyteller of our time, James Patterson.
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.”
When the pandemic started, Patterson launched a movement, #SaveIndieBookstores and pledged half a million dollars, and, with the support of the American Booksellers Association and the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, the campaign ended up raising $1,239,595 from more than eighteen hundred donors...Somehow, the bookstore outlived the pandemic. Why? The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians, compiled by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann, suggests a few reasons.
