Description

"Booksellers and librarians are superheroes, saving lives every single day. Here are their amazing, inspiring true stories as told to . . . 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 . . . 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"--Publisher.
