ONE OF LIT HUB'S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2023 "If books are
important to you because you're a reader or a writer, then how
books are sold should be important to you as well. If it matters to
you that your vegetables are organic, your clothes made without
child labor, your beer brewed without a culture of misogyny, then
it should matter how books are made and sold to you." With
Amazon’s growing power in both bookselling and publishing,
considering where and how we get our books is more important now
than ever. The simple act of putting a book in a reader’s
hands—what booksellers call handselling—becomes a catalyst for
an exploration of the moral, financial, and political pressures all
indie bookstores face. From the relationship between bookselling
and white supremacy, to censorship and the spread of
misinformation, to the consolidation of the publishing industry,
veteran bookseller and writer Josh Cook turns a generous yet
critical eye to an industry at the heart of American culture,
sharing tips and techniques for becoming a better reader and, of
course, recommending great books along the way.
