Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Instant New York Times Bestseller!
This "celebration of the world of books" ( Kirkus ) is "a real page turner!" ( Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan ) that "feels like a love letter" ( USA Today ) 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."
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.
