Reading the Room: A Bookseller's Tale | 
pickThis pocket-size book takes just an hour or two to read, structurally spans a day and a night, but holds half a century‘s wisdom about bookselling. Paul Yamazaki has been the principal book buyer at Lawrence Ferlinghetti‘s iconic City Lights bookstore in San Francisco for 50 years. This brief but complex and consequential collection of interviews with a venerable bookseller of color who‘s experienced so much is a gift to all who love bookstores.
