We have a very special Memoir Book Club meeting for August! It's a two for one: we will be reading "The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop" and we will be joined by the author, Lewis Buzbee! Please join us for a very special evening on Wednesday, August 14th at 7pm to discuss this charming book, and to talk to the author. (And I'm sure he'll be happy to sign your books!) NOTE: BOOK CLUBS IN AUGUST ARE ON WEDNESDAYS BECAUSE OF HOT SUMMER NIGHTS ON THURSDAY.
"In The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop, a Book Sense selection, Lewis Buzbee celebrates the unique experience of the bookstore-the smell and touch of books, the joy of getting lost in the deep canyons of shelves, and the silent community of readers. He shares his passion for books, which began with ordering through the Weekly Reader in grade school. Woven throughout is a fascinating historical account of the bookseller trade-from the great Alexandria library to Sylvia Beach's famous Paris bookstore, Shakespeare & Co. Rich with anecdotes, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop is the perfect choice for those who relish the enduring pleasures of spending an afternoon finding just the right book."
Caveat: Lewis is a friend of mine and the former owners of this bookstore, and I have been wanting to get him here for years. I am just delighted that he can join us for our discussion! A former bookseller, sales rep, and now a teacher of Creative Writing at USF, Lewis knows his stuff. Plus he's a delightful human! This is going to be a really great night, and I hope you can all make it!
