It’s a lot of stories told from multiple points of view. The people are bookstore owners, authors, librarians, school librarians, Barnes and noble managers, editors, and others who work for publishing companies. The people discuss their careers that involve books, what books mean to them, and what they love about working. There are discussions of protesting the book banning movement, social justice, and museum workers. There’s some discussion of the holocaust from a Jewish family who survived it. 

Nice book.
