And Then I Read: THE BOOKSHOP by Evan Friss

This was a Christmas gift from a friend and fellow bibliophile. I don’t often read non-fiction, but it kept me interested and entertained throughout. Starting with Benjamin Franklin, who also sold books in his print shop, and running to Amazon and beyond, the stories are varied and surprising at times. I particularly liked the ones about bookstores I’ve spent time in, mostly in New York City, all with histories I didn’t know, from Gotham Book Mart to The Strand to the Fourth Avenue shops, and I was intrigued by those I’ve never visited but wish I had. Well done and recommended.
