Description

This “celebration of the world of books” (Kirkus) is filled with true stories from the booksellers and librarians—the superheroes of reading—as told to the greatest storyteller of our time, James Patterson.

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.”

Step inside The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians and enter a world where you can feed your curiosities, discover new voices, find whatever you want or require. This place has the magic of rainbows and unicorns, but it's also a business. The book business.

Meet the smart and talented people who live between the pages—and who can’t wait to help you find your next favorite book.

Ce que les critiques en disent

The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians is very touching and beautifully crafted. It is like having the James Patterson Storytelling Fairy Dust sprinkled down upon you and your life. No wait, it IS having the James Patterson Storytelling Fairy Dust sprinkled down upon you and your life!” —Nina Barrett, Owner, Bookends & Beginnings

“I’m thrilled to be included in James Patterson’s The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians. James Patterson was kind enough to come to one of the early Mystery Writers Conferences at the bookstore. I was so in awe of him that I could barely get the courage to speak. In this book, he makes me look smarter than I am. I love it!” —Elaine Petrocelli, President and Co-owner, Book Passage

"A lighthearted compendium of first-person reflections from librarians and booksellers about their work and passion for literature... comfort food for bookworms." —Publishers Weekly

Fun

This was a fun listen, filled with lots of book related stories from booksellers and librarians. I liked how the book featured real people. There is some serious content, mainly around censorship, but otherwise just enjoyable stuff. Only odd thing: I thought the book ended rather abruptly: no closing words… I think it needed a few.
