![]() ![]() When I walk into a bookstore, any bookstore, first thing in the morning, I’m flooded with a sense of hushed excitement. "Buzbee takes us from the back rooms filled with bookstore clutter to the book stalls run by itinerant hawkers in the first millennium."Ī San Francisco Chronicle and Chicago Tribune Book of the Year, 2006 "Both anecdotal and eloquent, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop is a tribute to those who crave the cozy confines of a bookshop, a place to be 'alone among others' and savor a bountiful literary buffet." "I cannot remember when I have read a book with such delight." Here are some things other folks said about the book: Please visit them: The Yellow-Lighted Bookshops. There are two bookstores in England named after it, owned by the delightful and fierce bookseller Hereward Corbett. The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop was on bestseller lists on three continents and has been translated into Spanish, Korean, and two Chinese editions (both simple and complex characters). ![]() If you love the feel of walking into a bookstore and the promise those stacks and shelves hold, well, I've got a book for you.

This book is a memoir of my time in bookstores, but also a history of bookselling and publishing, from the great library at Alexandria to today's City Lights. I have always and ever been a lover of books and bookstores, and for over 20 years worked as a bookseller. ![]()
