Description

A New York Times Bestseller

From the beloved New Yorker cartoonist comes a choice of paintings and stories from one of the vital world’s most cherished bookstores. 

This choice of 75 evocative paintings and colorful anecdotes invites you into the center and soul of each and every community: the local bookshop, every with its own quirks, charms, and legendary stories. 

The book features an implausible roster of great bookstores from around the globe and stories from writers, thinkers and artists of our time, including David Bowie, Tom Wolfe, Jonathan Lethem, Roz Chast, Deepak Chopra, Bob Odenkirk, Philip Glass, Jonathan Ames, Terry Gross, Mark Maron, Neil Gaiman, Ann Patchett, Chris Ware, Molly Crabapple, Amitav Ghosh, Alice Munro, Dave Eggers, and plenty of more.  

Page by page, Eckstein perfectly captures our lifelong love affair with books, bookstores, and book-sellers that may be directly heartfelt, bittersweet, and cheerfully confessional.
