Debbie D. (debbiemd) reviewed on 6/21/2019

non-fiction memoir about Wendy Werris who started working at a bookstore in 1970 and then became a publishers rep for 30 years. She talks about independent bookstores, working with store buyers, travelling around to stores with her book catalogs, and the publishing industry in general. She touches on the changes in the industry with big box bookstores and then the internet and the closure of so many of the independent stores. A chapter on how she knows Michael Connelly. Doesn't talk about specific books so much as bookstores in general and interwoven with stories of the people she knew in the bookstores.
