Series Volume Number4

SynopsisThis "celebration of the world of books" ( Kirkus ) from New York Times bestselling author James Patterson explores the inner lives of the people who kindle our passion for reading. "When the pandemic started, Patterson launched a movement, #SaveIndieBookstores [and] pledged half a million dollars, and, with the support of the American Booksellers Association and the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, the campaign ended up raising $1,239,595 from more than eighteen hundred donors...Somehow, the bookstore outlived the pandemic. Why? The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians , compiled by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann, suggests a few reasons." - New Yorker 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."
