Title: The world of the bookseller
Review: Good story about the world of the bookseller, though I did like Parnassus on Wheels better because of the narrator, who is just a side character in this book. This book is also a very interesting look into the American mind immediately after World War I. The bookseller has many underlinable speeches about the importance of books in a world of peace. For the modern reader, it's depressing, knowing that the utter non-peace of World War II -- and indeed most of the rest of the 20th century and all of the 21st-- hangs over this optimist's head.
