A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Goodreads Choice Award Winner in
History &,amp, Biography One of Time's 100 Must-Read Books of
2024 ",A spirited defense of this important, odd and odds-defying
American retail category.", --The New York Times ",It is a delight
to wander through the bookstores of American history in this warm,
generous book.", --Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author
and owner of Books Are Magic An affectionate and engaging history
of the American bookstore and its central place in American
cultural life, from department stores to indies, from highbrow
dealers trading in first editions to sidewalk vendors, and from
chains to special-interest community destinations Bookstores have
always been unlike any other kind of store, shaping readers and
writers, and influencing our tastes, thoughts, and politics. They
nurture local communities while creating new ones of their own.
Bookshops are powerful spaces, but they are also endangered ones.
In The Bookshop, we see the stakes: what has been, and what might
be lost. Evan Friss's history of the bookshop draws on oral
histories, archival collections, municipal records, diaries,
letters, and interviews with leading booksellers to offer a
fascinating look at this institution beloved by so many. The story
begins with Benjamin Franklin's first bookstore in Philadelphia and
takes us to a range of booksellers including the Strand, Chicago's
Marshall Field &,amp, Company, the Gotham Book Mart, specialty
stores like Oscar Wilde and Drum and Spear, sidewalk sellers of
used books, Barnes &,amp, Noble, Amazon Books, and Parnassus.
The Bookshop is also a history of the leading figures in American
bookselling, often impassioned eccentrics, and a history of how
books have been marketed and sold over the course of more than two
centuries--including, for example, a 3,000-pound elephant who
signed books at Marshall Field's in 1944. The Bookshop is a love
letter to bookstores, a charming chronicle for anyone who cherishes
these sanctuaries of literature, and essential reading to
understand how these vital institutions have shaped American
life--and why we still need them.
