Evan Friss discusses “The Bookshop”

The Write Stuff is a periodic series at Barnes & Noble Philadelphia created for aspiring authors looking to learn more about navigating the route from writing to publication and to offer behind-the-scenes glimpses into the publishing industry.

People keep thinking the bookstore is heading toward its demise, and yet here we are! In this illuminating history of bookstores, Evan Friss, author of The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore, tells fascinating stories of bookstores past and present — including Barnes & Noble! Join us for a conversation about what makes bookstores tick, and why we will continue to need them. The author will be in conversation with our store manager, Lynn Rosen.
