The world’s #1 bestselling author explores the inner lives of the people who grow and encourage our passion for reading. “A celebration of the world of books” —Kirkus To be a bookseller or librarian … You have to play detective. Be a treasure hunter. A matchmaker. An advocate. A visionary. A person who creates “book joy” by pulling a book from a shelf, handing it to someone and saying, “You’ve got to read this.
