Rebel Bookseller: Why Indie Businesses Represent Everything You Want to Fight For...

by Andrew Laties - £10.99  Seven Stories Press (2011)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781609801397 | ISBN 10: 1609801393

Andy Laties has launched five bookselling companies in the past thirty years. In 1987 he won the Women's National Book Association's Pannell Award for his innovative community outreach work at The Children's Bookstore in Chicago. After ten years as an American Booksellers Association School instructor, Andy wrote Rebel Bookseller: How To Improvise Your Own Indie Store And Beat Back The Chains, published by Vox Pop, which won the 2006 Independent Publisher Award for best book about writing and publishing; a revised and expanded edition is due out in July 2011 from Seven Stories Press. Andy holds a Masters degree from the School of Community Economic Development at Southern New Hampshire University. He co-founded and still manages the museum shop at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, Massachusetts, which Parents Choice called "the very best bookstore for picture books in the entire world."
 
In Rebel Bookseller, Laties tells how he got started, how he kept going, and why he believes independent bookselling has a great future. He alternates his narrative with short anecdotes, interludes between the chapters that give his credo as a bookseller. Along the way, he explains the growth of the chains, and throws in a treasure trove of tips for anyone who is considering opening up a bookstore.
 
Rebel Bookseller is a must read for those in the book biz, a testament to the ingeniousness of one man’s story of making a life out of his passionate commitment to books and bookselling.
