Book synopsis

Authors and bookstores are inextricably tied to one another. The relationship between an author's local store and that store's owners and staff can last for years, if not decades and grow phenomenally close. Sometimes it's the author's local store that has supported him during the first uncertain days of his career. It's a place an author relies upon for word of new releases or a keen recommendation of an obscure work or an up-and-coming writer. The bookstore is a place of community for an author who spends her time pursuing what is generally a solitary existence. My Bookstore collects the stories, praise and words of thanks, for stores around the world, in 50 short essays written by our most beloved authors. Some of the pieces are sentimental, some are hilarious, all are unforgettable and inspiring. Sidebars tell of the history of the store, it's idiosyncracies and little-known secrets and legends Fifty black-and-white line drawing illustrate each shop's front door or distinguishing features.
