Who would have thought that a book sponsored/endorsed by James Patterson would contain so much praise and appreciation for James Patterson? As a librarian, I get kind of mad a James Patterson for him putting his name prominently on books he's endorsing and hasn't written, because of the nightmare that turns shelving into, which is why I'm mad I like this book so much. This was a fast, fun, and engaging read about what it takes to be and what life is like for booksellers and librarians of different walks of life and focuses, and in different locations.
