Where Books Live. The History of Bookstores from Franklin to Amazon

A bookstore often serves as a setting for romantic comedies or love stories, sitcoms, or detective thrillers. The atmosphere of a bookstore is undeniably inspiring — it's a romantic place and at the same time a refuge where one can get lost in books and find oneself. This is shaped by the people who work there.
"Where Books Live" is a story, written with immense tenderness, about American bookstores from Benjamin Franklin's first book-selling enterprise to the internet giant "Amazon." But first and foremost, it is a tale about booksellers, passionate enthusiasts genuinely in love with books and their profession.
