Secret Lives of Booksellers & Librarians

To be a bookseller or librarian . . . You have to play detective. Be a treasure hunter. A matchmaker. A brilliant listener. A person who creates a kind of magic by pulling a book from a shelf, handing it to someone and saying, `You`ve got to read this. You`re going to love it`. In this love letter to the heroes of literacy, James Patterson uncovers true stories from booksellers and librarians. Prepare to enter a world where you can feed your curiosities, discover new voices, and find whatever you need. Meet the smart and talented people who live between the shelves - and who can`t wait to help you find your next great read. _________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON `No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.` LEE CHILD `James Patterson is The Boss.
