Paperback book, published by Microcosm. Can bookstores save the world? As bastions of culture, anchors of local retail districts, community gathering places, and sources of new ideas, inspiration, and delight, maybe they can. But only if we protect them and the critical roles they fill in our communities. Danny Caine, author of the bestselling sensation "How to Resist Amazon and Why" and co-owner of the Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kansas, makes a compelling case for the power of small, local businesses in this thoughtful examination of the dynamic world of bookstores. A captivating read for any lover of books, patron of bookstores, or champion of the survival of these vital institutions, "How to Protect Bookstores and Why" makes the strongest possible argument for the importance of a resilient, inclusive, and progressive bookstore landscape.
