There are no secrets. Readers love librarians and booksellers.
The book has short chapters with stories of how people found their careers and how they love it. They shared their feelings of doing something wonderful and beneficial in the world as reading is so important. They said children are better off with a book in their hands. However, it was pointed out in many stories that there is a huge concern about book banning.
The book starts out strong as it’s so intriguing to read about how those in the book fields got started. But towards the end, it was more of the same. Lots of stories. Lots of happy librarians and booksellers which is a good thing. We need them.
And yet, I wanted the book to tell us a secret or two about the ups and downs of the business. Tell us about the management, people that buy tons of books and return them the next day, librarians that quit their jobs because of politics and how the market has changed since so many buy books from the internet. Tell us about kids that go into bookstores and make a mess. How many books are taken and never returned from libraries?
Tell us more next time. Real secrets.

I liked the concept of this a lot, but the execution felt a bit repetitive and long. There were so many micro perspectives (each one just a few pages) that their stories began to overlap in my mind and lose impact. I feel like I certain trends or tiny moments resonated with me, but it started to feel like listening to the same or super similar stories and ideas over and over again.
