Get Some Browsing Done In An Independent Bookstore
“Booksellers know their stuff, and they really love it when people ask them for recommendations. That was the best part of the job for me, when a customer would ask if I could recommend anything similar to this book or that book. It was so much fun to introduce readers to new titles and new authors. It was like opening up a hidden part of the world for them. As a customer, I love it, too. At every bookstore I visited this year doing readings of The Vanishing, I asked booksellers for recommendations based on the types of books they know I write. I think I’m pretty plugged into the book world, but they put titles in my hands that I had never heard of — and now love. That’s what booksellers can do for you.” (The Huffington Post)
