Got Books? Conversations with Booksellers
Arts:Books
Got Books? is a podcast for those who love getting lost in (and among) books. For those who appreciate the comfort of a bookshop, the smell of a new book and the story of an old one. It's a podcast with those making this possible: the booksellers.
We chat to bookshop owners all around the world to find out: Is owning a bookshop as romantic as we might imagine? How are the books on the "staff picks" table selected and what influences our reading choices? How does a bookshop survive in the age of the Internet? Is Orwell right: are bookshops "a kind of paradise where charming old gentlemen browse eternally among calf-bound folios"?
Full disclaimer: (at least) one of this podcast's two gentlewomen plans to one day, in the not so distant future, open her own bookshop. So to some extent these conversations are also research. The kind of research others may enjoy too.
