The Path of the Bookseller

"Customers have told me that I approach bookselling like a ministry. Sometimes I find people exactly what they want; I hope that sometimes I find what they need. And helping the store make a profit is probably a good thing, too. But what I look for is the human contact, the communication, the chance to help people leave the store happier than they came in."
