As bookstores attempt to find their identity in a new era, some have survived by selling everything from toys to socks, coffee to stationery. In this short book, Jeff Deutsch, the director of the Seminary Co-op Bookstores in Chicago, aims to make the case for the value of spaces devoted to books and the value of the time spent browsing their stacks. It is a defense of serious bookstores, but more importantly it is a paean to the spaces that support them; the experience of readers as they engage with the books, the stacks, and each other; and the particular community created by the presence of such an institution. Drawing on his lifelong experience as a bookseller and his particular experience at Sem Co-op, Deutsch aims, in a series of brief essays, to consider how concepts like space, time, abundance, measure, community, and reverence find expression in a good bookstore, and to show some ways in which the importance of the bookstore is both urgent and enduring"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a The presence of books : an introduction -- Space -- Abundance -- Value -- Community -- Time -- The good bookstore : an epilogue. 650 0 $a Booksellers and bookselling $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Booksellers and bookselling $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Bookstores $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Books and reading $x Social aspects. 610 20 $a Seminary Co-op Bookstores, Inc. 600 10 $a Deutsch, Jeff, $d 1975- 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033430.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013210.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220615010119.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220510011744.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220503071344.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220422010105.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A0D7290C20111ECBB25AC7743ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
