The yellow-lighted bookshop a memoir, a history
Using his retail experience as a point of departure, Lewis Buzbee gives readers a guided tour of the book business from the ancients to today. As much a history of bookstores as a meditation on the reading life, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop speaks to the book lover in all of us.
