review 1: This was an unexpectedly delightful book. It is a story of a couple's journey starting and running a local used book store. They face many challenges and triumphs. Wendy is witty and interesting.This is truly a behind the scenes look at what it takes to take on a challenging task.If you have ever thought about owning a book store or love your neighborhood treasure, this book is for you.
review 2: This is the story of a couple of book lovers who decide to open their own used bookstore in a tiny Virginia town. As a book lover myself, I've always thought that would be fun. What is more enjoyable than browsing through secondhand bookstores, never knowing what gem might lurk on the shelves? Wendy Welch does such an incredible job of describing the ups and downs ... moreexperienced by herself and her husband Jack as they attempt to open a bookstore in a town that views them as suspicious newcomers. As part of their integration into the community, Wendy & Jack share all of the "behind the scenes" activities in secondhand bookstores that most of us just don't know about. This is a delightful book that mingles laughs and heartbreak, pressures and decision making, comfort and homemade shortbread cookies. less
