This obscure book is a keeper. It was so awesome, so touching, so raw and real. You can see many other blurbs and reviews about this book, but basically there are these hand written notes from Henry to Catherine, in a very worn copy of Lady Chatterly's lover. These notes to each other are so profound. Later we will find Henry and Catherine.

But in the mean time, we will slog through the lives of Hugo, Jason, Maggie, Dizzy, AVI, and a few others. Including Maggie's Mom. I am leaving out a few names to not give away spoilers.

This book will speak to use book lovers and book store lovers. If you dont cry a few times, I would be surprised.

Best book of the year for me, so far. PS I had never heard of this author before.

A delightful book about a quaint, unorganized used bookstore and the wonderful characters and lives within. As soon as you turn the title page, the first quote in the book says "Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?" Now what book lover doesn't relate to that! There is much more for a book lover to enjoy about this book as our protagonist, Maggie, finds her path through a worn and tattered copy of Lady Chatterley's Lover containing hand written notes exchanged between two mysterious romantics. A nice journey.
