Renowned bookseller Andrew Laties aims to spark a grassroots revival of community bookselling with this handbook for retail revolution! The fruit of several decades' hard lessons, Rebel Bookseller offers a radical and creative new paradigm for independent booksellers on all sides of the cash register. In his 20 years of revolutionary retail, Latie's ideas were adapted by Barnes & Noble, Zany Brainy, and scores of independents. Blending adventurous memoir, satire, and sharp-tongued jibes, Rebel Bookseller challenges bookstore workers to improvise the wildly imaginative indie bookstores of tomorrow, with a behind- the- scenes history of the book industry, humorous anecdotes, bittersweet lessons, the Three Rough Rules of Rebel Booksellings, and much more. "Everything you always wanted to know about the book business but were afraid to ask. Even I, after 40 years writing, found this an eye- opener. Publishing, bookselling, 'should I open my own bookstore' - it's all in this entertaining, biting book." -Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
