I read this book as part of some research that I'm doing as part of writing my business plan (I'm working on a book related business idea). I found it to be interesting in many ways but it didn't completely work for me. The insider's look into the starting of a used bookstore in Big Stone Gap, VA was fantastic. That is where the book shines. There is a great deal of great content around starting and running a bookstore. As well as just a complete and utter love for books. All of that was amazing. The rest just didn't quite connect for me but I'm having a hard time identifying exactly what didn't exactly work for me. The later part of the book wasn't as strong as the earlier part of the book. But, overall, a good read for those who love books and bookstores!
