Review:
This is an easy read with multiple venues (book shops and former book shops, apparently bookstore is not preferred) described. Friss has visited these places and provides a certain sense of the space. When that is not possible he has looked for reviews, reminiscences, and interviews to provide a feeling for the place. Friss also tracks the development of book stores (ironically both real and fictional--Parnassus is both) and book sellers (not always collocated). Not exactly interesting, but worth reviewing and remembering.
