Jess the Shelf-Declared Bibliophile's Reviews > The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore

3.5 stars. It tended to drone, but I have to recognize the depth of historical research that went into this. I think my lack of focus and attentiveness is by no fault of the work itself or the author, but more my brain was expecting something slightly different. I would still recommend bibliophiles with a taste for history to explore this for themselves.
