I felt like this book was such a helpful analysis and glimpse into all the work independent bookstores do. I feel inspired to do more for my community and the booksellers who support my community. I felt like the information in the book was well supported with citations. This book had me texting my friends and family who live in different cities asking them if they’ve been to the indie bookstores featured in the book that they live close to.
I think the author does a fantastic job talking about the work the bookstores do, pointing out action items and potential policy changes (and where those policies have worked in different cities and countries). I feel like I have a good high level view of the scope of the issue, some potential solutions and places to look for more information

Great look at independent bookstores, supporting not only these institutions but the ideas around community and literacy. The book was fantastic and anti-capitalism while staying in touch with the wants and needs of people.
