Here are their amazing, inspiring true stories 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"-- Author's note -- 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 adult James Patterson and Matt Eversmann with Chris Mooney Librarians Anecdotes Booksellers and bookselling Anecdotes Books and reading Prohibited books Censorship Bibliothécaires Anecdotes Livres et lecture Livres prohibés 381.45002 025.52 9780316572828 0316572829 2023937340 240208 20240816122631.0 1424878051
