Sharon Orlopp's Reviews > The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore

This was a captivating book about bookshops’ history in the US. It created an urge to consider owning or running a bookshop.

I did not realize that many department stores used to have a book section within their stores. I learned that Ben Franklin opened a bookstore. Several large indie bookstores are mentioned along with Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Right now booksellers are seeing a resurgence which is extremely encouraging.
