About this title

Review:

First & Foremost is a unique guide to more than 300 bookstores from San Luis Obispo to Arcata. Along with practical information for booklovers, First & Foremost provides a fun behind-the-scenes look at each store through lively anecdotes, quirky facts, and their individual histories. First & Foremost also gives readers a broader sense of how booksellers think and how modern bookselling really works. Independent bookstores have long played a vital role in many communities, and it is important that they continue to do so. Despite the increasing homogenization of America, they maintain an individuality, a passion, and a sense of mission that shines from every page of First & Foremost. Whether a vacationing bookaphile, or a independent publisher seeking a better understanding of bookstore retailing, First & Foremost is highly recommended! -- Midwest Book Review
