My Life in Seventeen Books - Jon M Sweeney - Bog

Bag om My Life in Seventeen Books

"A memoir for the bookish-inclined, using personal stories to demonstrate how books have a magical way to move a person from one stage of life to the next. Former bookseller, longtime publisher and author Jon M.

He demonstrates how and why there is magic and enchantment that takes place between people and books"--
