The author provides anecdotes of her life as an independent bookstore owner, from her dinner party with Isabel Allende, to relationships with customers and struggles to stay open in the face of competition from chain bookstores.

Contraportada

"Don't miss this endearing and funny book about books, about loyal readers, perseverant sellers, crazy authors and the whole magical process of independent bookselling. If you are a reader, "Part memoir, part literary history, part social commentary, this book is a smart and insightful look at life inside an independent bookstore."
-Terry Tempest Williams, Author of The Open Space of Democracy"This is a book of passion, of intellectual integrity, of right ethics- the fascinating story of a woman living a life that has made an indelible difference to all of us who read." -Mark Spragg, Author of An Unfinished Life"Of its kind, and for all it tells us of today's literary world,
Burton's revealing, riveting book has no rival." -Jeannette Haien, Author of The All of It
