James Patterson and Matt Eversmann provide a fascinating glimpse into the work that America's booksellers and librarians do, offering up thumbnail biographies of how each developed their love of reading and how they view modern readers and the impact they have on their lives. I found much of the book extremely inspiring and it gave me numerous ideas of how I can make a difference in developing literacy amongst my (very) young students. One does not have to be a librarian, a bookseller, or even a teacher to instill the love of reading in others we care about.
