I don't know what I could say about this book that this book hasn't already said for itself, except that The Art of Libromancy has completely changed my perspective as a reader, consumer, and aspiring bookseller. Cook writes with such clarity and passion, it is obvious he loves what he does and is adamant about the things that need to change in the bookselling industry. He writes about American politics in a way that is accessible and easy to grasp but still profoundly meaningful. I think I highlighted over half the book. Between this and my previous read - The Bookshop: A History of American Bookstores - I will go off into the world with a new, honestly radicalized perspective as a reader. He really gives his readers the tools they need to be advocates for change. I will carry the contents of this book with me for a lifetime.
