Want the scoop on running a small business? Censorship? Following a dream?

This set of brief essays by booksellers, store owners, and librarians reveals what these professionals face each day across the USA. None sit around reading books all day :).

James Patterson has thrown his publishing weight at supporting independent book stores and reading. This reflects his support. Would have liked to have seen perhaps an inclusion or two from book reviewers and people working in the publishing industry such as agents and editors.

This reveals the dedication for modest pay that people pour into their commitment to book stores and libraries. While this will appeal to those employed in these industries, it would be great if consumers and patrons also look at this just to have a fuller understanding of why they are vital to any community. Well done.
