In his 20 years of revolutionary retail, Latie's ideas were adapted by Barnes & Noble, Zany Brainy and scores of independents. Rebel Bookseller challenges today's bookstore workers to improvise the wildly imaginative indie bookstores of tomorrow, and includes a behind-the-scenes history of the book industry, humorous anecdotes and bittersweet lessons, ten interlacing Rants, and three Rough Rules of Rebel Bookselling Blending adventurous memoir, satire and sharp-tongued jibe, the author dares the chains to sell this revolutionary book. 319912 10 6 2005 Rebel Bookseller: How to Improvise Your Own Indie Store and Beat Back the Chains total:35|5:8|4:11|3:14|2:2|1:0| 35 130 65 5 329310 0975276344 9780975276341 35 5 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173800178m/329310.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/329310.Rebel_Bookseller_How_to_Improvise_Your_Own_Indie_Store_and_Beat_Back_the_Chains 3 0 false Tue Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 22:19:56 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 09:57:18 -0800 2009
