Description
Instead of selling other people’s stories, come tell us yours! The Bookseller Oral History Project is collecting the stories of booksellers across the country. Come to Room 210 and add your voice to the story of bookselling in America. Come alone or bring a friend and have a conversation. Grab someone you admire and interview them. All booksellers (current and former) welcome! Here are some prompts to get you thinking: Tell us how you became a bookseller. Tell us about a challenging time in your store. Tell us about the best and worst author event you’ve ever hosted. Reminisce about your favorite bookstore growing up. Who in bookselling inspires you and why? Tell us how bookselling changed from when you first started. Tell us what makes your bookstore special. Questions, please contact Lanora Jennings, Lanora_Jennings@press.princeton.edu or text: 262-416-6698.
