Book about authors' favorite bookstores (cross-posted)

[Ruth E. Thaler-Carter]

I get "Unshelved," a clever and very funny cartoon about working in a library, by e-mail every day. Today's strip includes a pitch for a book that I thought colleagues would enjoy: My Bookstore: Writers Celebrate Their Favorite Places to Browse, Read and Shop, edited by Ronald Rice (ISBN: 9781579129101 (1579129102)),
published by Black Dog & Leventhal, $23.95 (US), $27.95 (CAN), illustrated by Leif Parsons. It will be available for purchase from Workman.com on November 13 and can be pre-ordered online from Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Indiebound and Powell's Books.

From the blurb: "My Bookstore collects the essays, stories, odes and words of gratitude and praise for stores across the country in 76 pieces written by our most beloved authors. It's a joyful, industry-wide celebration of our bricks-and-mortar stores and a clarion call to readers everywhere at a time when the value and importance of these stores should be shouted from the rooftops."
