I don't know if this is a complete 5-star on its merits or I just can't help myself. I loved my five years selling books, and I might do it again one day. I've bought books from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Square Books, Impression Books, Parnassus, Choctaw Books, Scholastic book fairs, B. Dalton, Libro.fm, but none has ever captured my heart like Lemuria Books. I worry about it all the time, and I treasure my memories and occasional trips back, although my wife has rightly pointed out we need to limit our book in take to make room for our growing family. Ironically, I borrowed this book from my local library, for which I get to buy books (sometimes) and e-books.

This book is organized by representative case, but does a great job remaining readable while reflecting American society. I would highly recommend it to anybody who likes reading. I would highly recommend reading to anybody who loves being alive.
