The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop
Lewis Buzbee
2008
225 pages
This book is all kinds of awesome…at least, if you’re a lover of books. However, since I read it back in March (which for my memory is the equivalent of 10 years ago), I’m a little hazy on the details. In short, Buzbee chronicles his life with books. There are chapters on reading as a kid, finding work in bookstores, browsing in bookstores, working as a publisher’s rep, and all sorts of other marvelous stories about books and the joy of reading.
You should read it.
And I should obviously post my reviews in a more timely manner.

This inspires me to 'collect' books about books. or is there already such a challenge? Going on my tbr if not already there....
Hello my dear friend! Loved the post and now, I actually want to read this book! Go figure! Your mind isn't THAT foggy now is it!

:) SOunds good. anything but the title would grab my attention :)
Yes! Awesome book.
I love Books about Books. Or Bookshops. That's a genre, isn't it?
Sometimes those are the best reviews though, aren't they? Easy to write, concise, and it gets your point across. I need to write more reviews like that!
I loved this little book. It just made me feel all warm and cozy like my favorite bookshops.
I loooove this cover. I think I just have a soft spot for piles of books.
LOL!!! If I don't write my reviews within a few days, all is lost.
A book about books - that's all I need to know! Going on my tbr :)
Your review made me laugh! I've read great reviews of this book, and have it on my wish list.
I can totally relate to not reviewing books soon enough to recall all the details! This sounds like an awesome book.
This one does sound good. I'll keep it in mind.
