Tales of a Bookseller

"Oh, you've probably read everything here?" visitors often tell me.
"No, I can't read, my colleagues tell me," I answer.
This is one of a thousand dialogues that can be heard every day in a bookstore, and one of a million questions that a bookseller has to answer.
Meet Elena Neshcheret, a bookseller, literary critic, blogger, winner of the Litblog award, and now also a writer. That is, the very same multi-armed character that you see on the cover of this book.
How is working in a bookstore different from working in any other store? Is it easy to work here?
Is it true that this profession is chosen by fanatics in love with books and ready to inhale the smells of dust and printing ink all day long, and the rustling of pages sounds like music to them?
How is a club bookstore different from a large chain?
And finally, how not to go crazy from the invasion of all sorts of people and communication with them?
You will find answers to all these questions if you read "Tales of a Bookseller".
But the main thing is that you will catch the atmosphere for which people become booksellers, and you will meet all sorts of people who come into the bookstore - sometimes not at all to buy the next bestseller.
