Title: A Fascinating Look at The Life of an Independent Bookseller
Product review: In general, booksellers are so busy selling books and trying to survive in a difficult business, we don't read much about how their side of the business works. With The King's English you walk in the shoes of an independent bookstore and learn about the challenges and joys.As an acquisitions editor and as an author, I learned a tremendous amount through Burton's experiences and insight. As she writes on page 251, "And that's why we're going to succeed against all odds, against the best eforts of corporate America. Because as booksellers, we're a community engaged in the business of books--a business that is both an art and a calling."Everyone can gain a great deal of wisdom from this book.
